Ducati 748 SPS.I bought her to do track days on.  She came with race tank, full race fairing on plus sets of wheels etc, but also came with the full Foggy road conversion, including the orignal Ducati tank which she is now wearing.Out of all the older bikes looked at nothing compare to thisbike.  Her general condition was great.  As soon as got her had herservices at Alf's in Worthing.  Alf ran race teams and in particular race Ducati?s'in the late 90's early 2000's.  Alf himself serviced her and he said shewas fine.In the end only did track day on her and it didn't miss abeat.  used to race bikes at decent standard, and you can tell thatshe has pedigree.When bought the bike, it came with the complete kit to put it back onthe road which as now all back on.  She has also again been serviced (newbelts again) and MOT'd in Oct 2019.  It has been out on test drive onthe road by the garage and even he said it felt nice.Now, it is not standard bike.  Below is an email to me from the previousowner.             "Prior to that purchased the bike in the Foggy replica body work,never rode the bike with these fairings fitted, all the road going gearincluding the fuel tank was removed straight away and this is kept cosy andwarm in my loft.
Its real unique bike bought it from guy who used to supply HM PlantDucati back in the day with race parts, the Frame is not standard, the pipesare not standard, the front fork springs are up graded the engine internals aresps. Its very difficult for any one to actually prove but can explain lotmore if you are still interested and awake by the time he finishes reading thisemail!!!
I basically have everything you need to go racing Tomorrow if wanted, Two sparepares of wheels (One of the spare front Wheels has set of discs fitted),Sprockets, chain, Tyres (Used), Tyre Warmers, Transponder, all the original bodywork.Etc
As mentioned got the engine rebuilt by Alf?s motorcycles, Alf himself took onthe project and talked me through the entire engine rebuild inviting me down toshow me what was being replaced and why. Alfs use to race these bikes back inthe day at very high level so they know how to build an engine. The enginenever let go on me (Blew up) I?ve always changed the oil/Filter after everycouple of track days and noticed some shinny metal stuff one day and thoughtthis isn?t good.. basically the big end shells had started to ware away so wecaught it just in time. Whilst the engine was apart we obviously took theopportunity to change lot of the main components one receipt shows £1850 andthis was reduced as it was my race bike, and they try to look after us, thenalso put power commander and Dyno Kit think another £400. Plenty of otherreceipts as well.
I think I?ve only done 3-4 track days since the re build two of those were wetand one sunny one that can remember! And the       belts where changed for the sunny one.."He was going to race it so had absolutely everything done to it that wasrequired.  Unfortunately, he had heart problem and, in the end, couldn'trace.  He kept in in his garage for good years not beingused.  It's been in my garage for years now.As lover of nice bikes this girl is looking for someone to treat herewell and give her good ride now and again.  believe the pleasure will be all yours.Due to the frame coming off the race track the registration is Qplate.  It doesn't have full-service history, but do have the previousowner?s paperwork and my paper work.  If you wished I'm sure that theprevious owner/mechanic would be OK to speak to you to confirm its conditiononce you win the bid prior to collection.She's great bike and needs to be out there being enjoyed (I don?t rideon the road).Actually, had so much respect for her decided by by GSXR600 thatwas half decent to thrash around on track days instead.I couldn't bear the thought of throwing her (the Ducati) up the road.This auction is for the bike only.  If you do with to enquire about the spare tank, fairing, wheels etc please do ask about them seperately.
Please do ask if you have any questions.CheersAndyOn 21-Nov-19 at 09:07:38 GMT, seller added the following information:Just to confirm that the auction is for the bike in the Foggy rep fairings as in the images only and not the spares that are mentioned.
The spare parts such as the spare tank, spare wheels with wets, spare black wheels with no tyres, race fairing etc (seen in the pic in the track) would be sold seperately.  Please ask about the spares as seperate purchase.
