Переглядів 4,989,739
Рік томуThis time we're back to restoring motorcycles namely this Ducati 748 SPS that was abandoned by its owner long ago and left to rot in this barn, but I've since saved it and restored it back to fully road going condition and found it a lovely new home to live in with its new owner. I hope you enjoy this episode and will leave a little like and a comment to show your support. Enjoy.

The 748 was always seen as the baby brother... The 916 design was years ahead of it's time. One of those few cases. I had lots of Ducati model bikes, and my huge collection started from my first 916. Always loved this bike. And if money was no object, even the 748 would be in my garage today. thanks for sharing this rebuild.

Just finished watching this video whilst my wife is watching some rubbish Australian wedding show on TV. This is the best thing I’ve seen on UKposts for ages. How long did it take to complete. Phenomenal work and it’s amazing to me that you had the right tools to hand straight away, I’m always rummaging around through various drawers and toolboxes. Hope the new owner is as happy with the bike as I was watching you put it all together. Best wishes from Wales.

It's bad to see in what initial conditions you can find a piece of art like this 748 sps. It's beautiful and even ugly at the same time to see in which conditions a restored bike that anyone can buy is in the origin, and then how can it be restored. I prefer good and preserved pieces to totally restored ones. A big thumb up from Italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
