The Andy Chapman Collection
2000 Ducati 748S Biposto
Registration no. W347 PBT
Frame no. ZDMH300AAYB002550
Engine no. ZDM748W4009014

'Baby brother' of the iconic 916, from which it is virtually indistinguishable, Ducati's 748 was the preferred choice of the many riders who found the smaller model more easily controllable. Even today, 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. And when it comes to style there's simply no comparison. Universally recognised as icons of automotive art, Ducati motorcycles have been exhibited in some of the world's foremost museums, including the Guggenheim in New York and the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco.
Imported from Italy, this Ducati 748S Biposto was first registered in the UK on 1st March 2020 and has had one former keeper in this country. It currently displays a total of 9,305 kilometres on the odometer (at the time of cataloguing/photography). Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent, or possibly more extensive restoration, before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Accompanying documentation includes copies of import and DVLA registration paperwork; old Italian registration papers; NOVA acknowledgement; an expired MoT; and a V5C. It should be noted that the V5C omits the last six digits of the engine number (009014). Two keys present.
