So Classic Bike arrived in the post today and they have a buyers guide for the 851/888s....
For 2/3 years the Co I instructed for was based in a bike shop that had Ducati as one of their brands... A road up to the shop created an unforgettable soundtrack... I've never forgotten the original rattly clutch classics... I had a run on a few Ducati's but sadly not an 888 but the article and this vid sums it up perfectly ...
