1998 Ducati 916S Biposto
Registration no. VIW 5134
Frame no. ZDM916S011868
Engine no. ZDM916W4012370

First registered 26th March 1998, this Ducati 916 Biposto was purchased by the first owner from the Belfast Ducati main dealer, Hursts. The current vendor purchased the Ducati from the original owner and registered it on 21st May 1999. Since 2006 the machine has been kept off-road in dehumidified storage. Its last MoT was issued in April 2006 at 4,503 miles.
At approximately 10,000 miles there was a factory recall to replace the 'miles only' speedometer with a 'miles and kilometres' version, which was carried out by Hursts (the original speedometer was retained by the dealer to claim payment from Ducati). The current odometer reading is 4,654 miles, representing circa 14,654 miles from new. 'VIW 5134' is presented in age-related condition with the light corrosion typical of Ducatis of this era. Otherwise, the machine is very well presented, featuring a Casoli Moto polished top yoke; carbon heel plates; carbon swingarm cover; Pro V Twins clutch assembly; and a Termignoni exhaust. Recommissioning, including a new battery, will be required following a lengthy period of inactivity. The machine is offered with a current V5C document and three expired MoTs.
