Experienced help required - Bike viewing
 
Hi Folks,

Wondering if anyone is around this afternoon or early evening that could help me view a Bike?

As usual I know nothing about what I want to buy. Ducati 748.

Bike is near East Putney Underground Station.

Of course I'll make sure there is a "Good beer" in it for you.

If you can much appreciated!

sorry mate, don't have the time today, need a bit more notice than that, I will say be very careful, owing to Ducati's financial state at varying points they used cheap electricals and they are one of the prime reasons those bikes had such an unreliable reputation, so make sure to check those, I had a 748sps for a while, great track bike, but crippling on the road.

Have fun.

Cheers Mark.

For **** sake don't use them at all! Marcus is a good guy but I got royally ****ed over by Ray when my Ducati 900 monster got rebuilt there. Verbal quote for engine rebuild was £700, final price was £1600 without consulting me. They talk the talk but are very very expensive.
