That’s no typo: This bike is being advertised as an unrestored 900MHR with 52,500 miles! Normally we see bikes like this with either very low miles or a recent restoration. Not this one, though it certainly looks well looked after, it is a bike that should continue to be ridden. How often do we get to say that? Make sure to read the seller’s description which includes a great little story of his Isle of Man trip.
1985 Ducati 900MHR For Sale on eBay
from the seller:
The Bike was imported from Japan in 1995 then sat in a collectors garage until I purchased it and first reg it in 2003, when I purchased it had about 14000km on the clock, I wanted to experience the thrill and excitement that one of the greatest motor cycle riders in the world had experienced, and what a thrill it has been. Even though the rides are few and far between these days, I loved every minute on it. Doesn’t’ matter where you are, someone will want a photo and tell a story of some great uncle that had one the same, or tell a story about the amazing Mike Hailwood.
In 2007 I shipped the bike back to the UK and road it around Europe, England, Ireland finishing at the 100 year anniversary of the IOM , before returning back to England to ship the bike back home to NZ, some 12000ks later, the bike never missed a beat.
The bike is very original with the usual ware and tear you would expect from a bike of this age, the only part repainted is the green on the bottom fearing.
The bike has Italian Conties but the original silentium in the photos go with the bike. Can’t believe I am selling this iconic bike!
The bike is priced very realistically and will compensate for a reprint if one desired, a great investment, {brand new they were $ 6499}The motor runs like a clock and the Tyres are nearly new, what more can one say.
Unfortunately the seller’s price is a bit on the optimistic side at $18k buy-it-now, but I like to believe a deal could be struck that would allow this “rider” to get some more miles under her belt!

I’ve always been told the Top Triple Clamp is the window to a bikes soul and history. This one looks like she’s had some use?
