One of the most influential motorcycles of recent times, the Ducati '851' restored the fortunes of the Italian company and paved the way for a highly successful family of superbikes, the final (pre-Panigale) example being the '1098' of 2007. This example was first registered on 16th April 1992 (presumably to the supplying dealer) and the following day was registered to its first private owner, Mr John Dawson The current (second) private owner acquired the Ducati in May 1993 and thus has owned it for almost its entire life. Only ridden on dry days, it has not been used for the last nine years (the last tax disc expired on 31st October 2008) and has covered only some 10,000 miles from new. We are advised that fluids have been changed every two years. A Scott chain oiler is the only notified deviation from factory specification. Accompanying documentation consists of old/current V5/V5C Registration Certificates.
