-----------------------------------
I found it on e-bay, in Florida last Sept.
Had it shipped to Ca.
I posted a pic of it to 2strokeworld and a guy said...
"hey, it looks like my old SDR made it back to California"
I sent him a PM and he never responded....
So who knows when it made the great trip across the
pond to the west.
I know I have no plans to ever part with it. I have dreamed
about owing one since I saw my first around 1991 or so.
In fact, THIS might be the bike I saw @ Laguna Seca, and
wished for ever since.

I should take a family portrait of all my bikes and post em up
for ya'all.
Thanks for sharing.

ebay, removed from a 2001 M900 S4... scored it for $88 still has the fuel pump in it too, now I have a spare..

 

[stainlesscycle]

wow, thats cheap! put a new fuel filter and hoses in it before you regret it.. i replaced a fuel filter and hoses in my st4 on the side of the dan ryan expressway 500 miles from home during rush hour traffic. sucked.

 

[boostedte37]

insanely cheap, was gonna cost $300 to repair old tank

How close do you think the ducati bars are to say,, a KTM fat bar? My buddy John just picked up a monster 900 that has been modded,,forks slid way up in the clamps and a set of clip ons put on.. this makes her lean forward so bad its kinda hard to ride.. I have some extra bars and mounts.. How wide are the stock bars?? His is a 96? and he got it for $800,, just needed a clutch and tires are dryrotted..

stock bars are 29" across, you can buy clip ons with rise to bring your position more upright.

Just to show-off a little with the "cousin" of your Duc that I bought recently
