      La 851 Superbike / 1991 ( avec fourche Showa inversée) a été la moto que j'ai possédée dont je garde le meilleur souvenir.
      Bonne sur la route, sur l'autoroute, bonne sur route de montagne (hte Savoie) et bonne sur circuit.. moto très polyvalente, qui une fois l'habitude prise (10 Mkm) était une moto géniale.
      Ma 748 était moins polyvalente mais bestiale sur circuit, un pousse au crime 🤣.
      Mon 750 paso était une bonne routière pour rouler tranquille, l'attaque avec ses roues en 16" était moins agréable, peut être à cause de la fourche conventionnelle car elle avait un gros freinage style Monster 900....mais son moteur était bien aussi.

    I have to agree about the 600s they are a very under rated machine. I had 900 & 800i Monsters and the 620 is a ripper! Like riding a little Superbike with it's 10,000 rpm redline too! Rode a 999 once and what a magnificent engine! First Ducati I actually rode was an associate's 851 Superbike back in the 90's and the faster you went the better it got! (compared to my CBR600 1995) As with ANY bike it's how YOU feel when you're riding it that counts the most.

    I have a 2006 Monster 620ie and went for this over a 600 on account it came with twin front discs, 6 spd box and fuel injection. Mine had 22,000Km on the clock when bought, Termis and was in virtually mint condition. The price, $5k. A bargain in my mind and the original Monster looks are classic for sure in my eye. Mine is insured for $7k and still has less than 23,000km on the clock. To the list of value for money classic Ducs, I would suggest you could add the Sport Classic 1000, barring many have suggested they are uncomfortable to ride. However, there is a fix for this and they offer so much classic Ducati style but with more modern engineering. They are starting to rise in price, so get onto one soon if you can afford one.

But its looking great now. I had a 916 sp when I was a young man and had to sell it when I got divorced. Always regretted selling it. The 998s fe is in an extension to my house on a carpet on a charger and will be kept to have for the rest of my life. I’m looking for a good condition yellow 748r next year.

    I had an 860GT Ducati and it was great. It was not desmodromic which made maintenance much easier. I did the bike in black on black which hid the horrible lines and I painted the tank badges in black and gold which made them pop. I fitted the bike with lower superbike type bars. It was a fun bike to ride but not a road burner by any means. I even did a track day on it with no problems at all except for the wooden brakes.

    @sburns2421 3 года назад +5

    Great list. (maybe not the ugly duckling 860GT but that is personal preference).
    A couple of thoughts.
    1. Eventually the 999 will be "rediscovered" as a great Ducati. Of all my Ducatis it remains my favorite to ride to this day. In the US, very cheap at the moment. 749 even more so. A 2005-06 999S would be my pick if I ever upgraded (I have a standard 03 999). FWIW when people discount Ducati's numerous SBK championships due to the displacement advantage of twins I like to point out the 999, which beat the liter fours on equal footing three years (03, 04, 06). The only Ducati to do it so far.
    2. totally agree with the MH 1000 Mille. That it is the cheapest (still ~$20k in US and climbing) of the Mike Hailwood Reps makes it sweeter still. The one I personally would want and on the short list for the next bike for me personally.
    3. No 907 i.e. on the list? Sport-tourer Ducatis are a bit like four-seat Ferraris, few appreciate them and values reflect that. In the US the 907 is very inexpensive. Looks are not to everyone's taste, I personally think it looks great and with 17" wheels and fuel injection means it could be easier to live with for the collector who actually rides. It takes balls to design a bike with a solid red "windshield", and nothing says 80's like a NACA duct. Tamburini called the Paso one of the favorite bikes he designed. Another one on the short list for me personally.
    4. ST4s. Another sport-tourer so values are low. Without the bags it is basically a 996 with more a comfortable riding position and less attractive looks. But also as fast as a 996 in almost all conditions. Maybe as middle-aged riders start to buy the bike brands they wanted in younger days the sport-tourers will see increased desirability.

    Hi Anthony , a few points which may help , if you've thought about a Darmah early red and white ones had a kick starter as well as the electric boot and 32mm carbs which made no difference to performance as apposed to the 40mm fitted to the black and gold models which still had 32mm inlets , the early 750ss you mentioned is in fact a 750 sport , the problem is they run 16" wheels front and rear The problem is finding rear tires I think Avon does one but the profile is very high , the 999 and 749 are great bikes with the added advantage of a conventional swingarm which means easy wheel removal , you won't need a huge socket set and a torque wrench that goes over 200nm , hope this may help ; )

      I would rather have what I have than a 3 or 4 valve. Not saying any are bad. All good. Simply that the 2 valve does everything you need when tuned right. With simpler components, less to go wrong, easier to do valve adjustments.

It was an incredibly easy bike to ride except for the heat given off the engine. That was its fatal flaw. Nearly unrideable because of the heat emanating from that motor. I also own one of those 2006 Paul Smarts. I absolutely hated that bike. Such a betrayal! It never felt like the front wheel, and the back wheel were “talking” to each other. I got rid of that one quickly. If I had it today. I would have doubled my money. But that’s not what a Ducati is for. A Ducati is for riding it!

    I love what you are doing. I love seeing these bikes. Personally I've always owned new bikes. Im leary about used bikes only because I go balls to the wall full tilt. Knowing my life is at risk keeps me having the newest best machinery. I know I don't have to do that and that said I've just never head the pleasure of one of these. I should try it but there again... you cant just show up and "try" any of these so its moot for me.

    Hey I am currently doing my drivers licence and I would love a Ducati as my first bike. I want to get an old but still fuel injected monster. maintenance wouldn't be a problem, im quite handy myself. the power will be decreased to 45hp horsepower because of German law regulations. is a monster well suited in my case or should I rather get a Japanese bike as a starter. if a monster is suited, which engine size do you guys suggest?
    Thanks for answers
    best regards

      @acanofspam78 3 года назад +1

      I'm not an expert, but I have worked in the moto industry for a couple years. I think the PPMS is a future collectible. It has pedigree and history tied to it, especially after the tragic passing of Carin Dunne. I see parallels between it and many of the Paris-Dakkar classics that are seeing rises in value like the Africa Twin, Elefant, and R80G/S. Add on top of that it just being a damn good bike... The only thing going against it that I see is they keep making them, so they're not on track to be rare.

    Just wanted to mention and ask your perspective on the 1989/90 900 supersport? I've owned a pretty mint one (of 1971 made thereabouts) for 18 years and think they're very appealing to the older enthusiasts now.

    In 2018 I put a 900 Engine inside. It's in A1 shape. With Bos Mufflers it sounds and runs perfect.
    I think it's the ugliest Ducati. Not to compare to the 916.
    But the bike is very stable is easy to repair.
    Now i want to give it away because I have too many bikes and need some space in my garage.

    Two more affordable models to the list: Hypermotard 1100S and Multistrada 1000S/1100S.
    The big bore Desmodue is the perfect engine for road riding. Unfortunately Air Cooled engines are being fazed out. Even Guzzi is going Liquid-cooled :(
    The Hypermotard design has become a classic and the first gen Multi look has aged well. Especially compared to the new crop of beaked "adventure" bikes....
    Price wise they reached rock bottom. I can only see them appreciating in value since many are worth more in parts than in running order.

    What are your thoughts on the Ducati Paso? I loved the styling when they came out and think they still turn heads today. I believe there were only about 8500 built across the whole range (750, 906 and 907). Not sure how many have survived as you dont often see them. I've been contemplating buying one. They seem to go for reasonable money when they do come up for sale.

    • @sgtmiklin

      La 750 paso était ma première ducat', c'était une bonne moto avec ses gros radiateurs d'huile. La fourche marzzochi conventionnelle est un peu perfectible, surtout avec un gros freinage 2x4 pistons et pour moi, les roues en 16" ont été une erreur de conception , vu la qualité de la partie cycle / moteur.

    750 F1 ? cream of the cream. This is a 'very' beginners guide, loads of missed information - 748 so much better than a 916 to ride- 748R is the 'collectors' version because the crankcases should be replaced every 'something or other miles' ! !, Darmahs hardly any power difference to a desmo SS just don't look as nice. 851/888 absolutely better to ride than a 916- even Massimo Bordi says so , my favourite - apart from my 1981 Hailwood ; ) is almost anything with a 750 engine- a 750 sport (belt) (getting too expensive for what they are though) or a 750ss (belt) which you can get for 'pennies' (under 2K ) I bought one for 1800 euros last year with MOT on the road. So many nice Ducatis for small money out there . . and for real power, yes a 999 or even a 749 if you can find one ; ) talk to a friendly dealer to find out what fits for you is my tip. And I just sold my friends 1198 for 7000 euros ! ! nobody interested : (
