* Standard components offered with the machine
* Good mechanical and cosmetic condition

'Baby brother' of the iconic 916, the 748's combination of v-twin grunt and one of the best chassis ever built is guaranteed to keep it at the front of the track-day pack in the hands of a competent rider. Universally recognised as icons of automotive art, Ducati motorcycles have been exhibited in some of the world's foremost museums.

This limited-edition Ducati 748SPS has been upgraded with the following carbon fibre components: Ducati front mudguard with brake cooling vents; 3-section belly pan; rear hugger/chain cover; exhaust cans; and a ¾-open clutch cover. The machine also has a racing screen. Chipped and tuned by SG Engineering, this Ducati is described by the private seller as in excellent condition throughout, its engine being run up to temperature every 30 days. The machine comes with all books as well as service history, and has been serviced (belts changed) by SG Engineering. All the standard parts are included in the sale together with spare keys and a single-sided paddock stand. The machine may require an element of recommissioning and safety checks prior to being MoT'd.
