Red, This is a very collectible bike. There is some corrosion on this one unfortunately but it would still make a fantastic addition to any collection. The Ducati 888 was the result of evolving the 851 superbike in the fiercely competitive World Superbike series but it took a couple of years after the racing machines went up to 888cc before the road bikes followed suit. Road riders finally got to share the glory in 1992, with the introduction of the “basic†888 Strada, effectively an 851 fitted with the bigger engine from the SP3, while the 1992 888SP4 and 1993’s 888SP5 – another pair of homologation specials – filled the top end of the range. The final evolution, the 888SP5, is one of the most desirable bikes ever built, and with a claimed 120bhp, its performance is still pretty impressive today. A classic. Values are rising and judging by the low numbers of bikes either licenced to be on the road or tucked away with a valid SORN document owners are already hiding them away for safe keeping. The bike will be serviced and come with 12 month’s MOT. This bike has been imported from the Continent and will be UK registered on an age related number plate upon sale. The registration transfer paperwork can take 2 – 3 weeks depending on timescales from DVLA. The North West’s finest family run motorcycle dealership, £5,995 no
