1992 Ducati 851

For Sale: 1992 Ducati 851

When it comes to the current crop of Ducati v-twin Superbikes, they all have this model to thank. Concurrently introducing liquid cooling, four-valves per cylinder (with desmo, of course), and fuel injection, the 851 was a watershed bike for Ducati. Sporting top-level componentry and offering exceptional performance for the day (and still quite respectable today), the 851 remains a desirable collector model of the Superbike family.

From the seller:
2nd owner from 2004, no mechanical issues whatsoever, new battery, recent valve set, new belts, new steering head bearings, new chain and sprockets, original tool kit in original case, original owners manual, service manual, magnesium 3spoke Dymag wheels, Staintune exhaust. Bike tuned my Marvin Jensen of 851 list. You may contact him regarding the bike’s condition. He has ridden it quite a bit as well.

This is a Strada model bike, and contains a passenger pillion under the faux single seat cover (although the passenger pegs have been removed to accommodate the aftermarket exhaust). While it has covered a quite a few miles for this type of bike, it appears to be in great condition with some quality upgrades. These motors are very durable, provided they are fed quality service with a frequent side of timing belts. I wouldn’t be concerned about the mileage, although it could have an impact on the resale value.

The auction for the beauty is on right now, and the price for a collectable Ducati icon is looking pretty affordable. The current bid is at $4500, with the reserve still in place. The BIN is set for $7500, which is right in line with the going rate for this model. The upgrades are in good taste, and enhance the performance of this period piece. For your chance at this key Ducati, .
