Ducati Superbike description
The Ducati 851 is the motorcycle that returned Ducati to racing success.
All subsequent Ducati Superbikes trace their lineage back to back to this - first
Ducati with liquid cooling, four valves per cylinder and Fuel Injection.
If you are reading this, you likely are familiar with these bikes. They were
iconic in their day, and are still wonderfully rewarding bikes to ride. The perform
very well, handle better than 95% of the bikes built today, and the Ferraci
pipes and airbox roar combine to sound like nothing on the planet. 1992 was the
last and best year for the 851 – the solid blood-red paint, white frame with
black wheels look fantastic.
I bought this bike a little over a year ago, with the intent of never selling.
I searched for about 5 months to find the right bike. I have four other
Ducatis, and now have my eye on an airplane – so now one or two of the bikes must
be sold.
CONDITION:
Overall this bike is in excellent condition. I am extremely fastidious about maintenance
on all my machines and keep them spotless and waxed. That said, it is a
“rider”, not a showroom queen. It gets ridden regularly – about twice a month,
and has always been kept in my garage under a cover. The bike is insured and I have the CA Title in my name - in my hand.
The bodywork is superb - all paint is shiny but has a few nicks in various places – but no
scratches. Far above average for a 20 year old motorcycle. There is one crack in the bodywork – see foto – on the bottom of the
right fairing. It was there before purchase, and the previous owner bought that
way as well. There is no evidence of going down anywhere on the bike. The bike
has never been down or raced to my knowledge – and I asked before buying…
All fluids are fresh and or bled. New filters, new clutch, new O-ring chain and
sprockets.
Since purchasing, I have gone completely through the bike either to correct
small items or adding aftermarket upgrades – listed below. All upgrades were to
enhance appearance and/or function without detracting from the character of the
bike. All items function correctly, all bulbs light. Bike is not perfect, but it is very, very close.
Metzler Sportec tires, less than 1000 mi
Shiny Carbon Fiber - Front Fender, Belt covers, countershaft Sprocket cover, Rear "Hugger"
Stainless front brake lines
Brand new Barnett Clutch - just installed
Speedy Moto Clutch cover
Speedy Moto pressure plate with stronger springs (Stock items included)
Lightweight aluminum clutch Hub
Nichols Motorsports Engine Bolts
Ferraci slip Ons, Ferraci Chip, K&N AirFilter (Don’t have Airbox lid) - starts excellent, runs clean to redline
New Grips and Bar Ends
Front / Rear Brake lines / Clutch bled with new DOT 4 fluid
Clear Zero Gravity Windscreen
Odyssey dry cell battery
New 520 racing Chain conversion – DID O-ring chain, hardened sprockets
Forks were just re-built due to leaking seal. Full slider polish / new fluid.
Stock internals.
Note: With the airbox lid gone, the hoses from the front "ducts" are gone as well. The engine breathes better with the open top airbox and the sound is really superb.
ADDITIONALLY:
The rear stand comes with the bike, but if you are out of the area, you
must consider the shipping method / cost(s) for the stand.
The rear has aftermarket turn signals that I never liked, but the stock ones
look worse, and I haven’t found anything I like better…
Your Bid is a Contract – decide before you bid.
The bike is avail for viewing in Irvine, CA. Contact me for a time.
If you are not in southern California, you need to consider how you will obtain
the bike BEFORE bidding. There are several shipping companies for motorcycles,
Google is your friend. I will assist your shipper, but only if reasonable. I
can store the bike for 30 days after auction close – with your $500.00 deposit
in hand. Please be a responsible buyer / bidder.
I will answer questions and/or take additional fotos if requested, but am not
interested in trades or negative comments.

A new kind of ridiculous: 42X Ducati Edition
Fri, 18 Feb 2011I've just been sent this press release about a new Cigarette Racing (that's the boat co.) Ducati Edition boat. It's nice looking, for sure, but do you really need Ducati logos splashed everywhere when you've forked out on a boat that's probably not going to give you much change from £1m. No doubt, Rossi'll be seen on one this year, with Uccio manning the stereo...
