I'm selling my Ducati 748 track bike, along with the bits and pieces I've collected over the years. I Can't feel the enthusiasm anymore, hence the package wants a new home. 


I lost motivation last year, when the bike fell off my trailer outside the house, so I sold offending items (landover and trailer) in a fit of rage. 


I vowed to try once more after the rebuild, which I did at Darley moor on 17th march, but there is still no passion. I've spent probably hundreds of hours on this bike, it was a passion, cost thousands and I'm gutted to be selling.

I  bought this bike 3 years ago as a rough 1996 Ducati 748 Biposto road bike, rode it for a few months up 'till august 2014 then the engine seized. I decided then to convert it to a track bike. I sourced a replacement engine and ECU from an early SP, which were fitted in early 2015. I then gradually changed bits to make it less of a road bike.

I tried to run this bike at Darley moor pre-98 injection, sound of thunder and newcomers classes in 2015 but wasn't competitive against 1000cc bikes and triumph 675's so was wasting my time. Done about 9 trackdays that year. 2016 was plagued by problems with injury and limited track time, so another disaster year. Done about 4 trackdays that year. This year, I've done just one day and lasted 4 sessions before calling it a day.
