For Sale Ducati 916 Biposto - 1998 - low mileage

[Dartanion]

Up for sale is my 1998 916 biposto (single seat conversion) in red with only 15,700 miles on the clock, I have owned this since 2019 and intended to fully recommission and get back on the road. It had been neglected by previous owners and needed some work to get up and running including a faulty fuel pump, binding brakes and general maintenance issues. I completed the work needed did an oil and filter change and had it up and running in late 2020 although I intended to do a full strip down and rebuild other projects took preference and consequently this has sat in the back of the garage now for a few years. The bike runs great, starts and stops as it should but will need a full service including replacement belts and a general tidy up and is now in need of a new owner who can bring her back to full glory and give her the use she deserves.

Good bits:
Fuel pump replaced
Brakes refurbed and bled
Both wheels refurbished and powder coated
Exhaust fully removed, cleaned and polished
Tyres new back in 2021 and only completed minimal mileage

Bad bits:
MOT expired Oct 2022 (although no reason it should not pass)
Rear shock spring requires attention or replacement
Ohlins forks would probably benefit from a service
No service history (was told by the seller that this had been lost)
General age related marks and stone chips

The bike is in my name and is currently SORNed supplied with one key and is located 5mins from Jnc 11 of the M25, feel free to arrange to come and take a look, tea/coffee and biscuits at no charge
Asking £6,000 for UKGsers before putting up for sale elsewhere.

Thanks for looking, photos below (including one when work was in progress)

Oh my, that is beautiful. When I finished work in 2010 I wanted one while there was still life in me. Missed out on a few and just by chance and out of the blue bought my GS1150 instead.
Alas, time has now passed me by.

Absolutely gorgeous is that and GLWS.

I had this with Termis.

The only bike I’ve truly regretted selling.

A bit of fettling and you will never ever lose a penny on this thing.

Iconic.

GLWS

916 Bip did not have ohlins forks and they don’t look like ohlins either, they’re standard showa with a sticker to suggest otherwise.

Thanks I think you may be correct, standard had Showa front and rear and on closer examination the Ohlins may just be a sticker

Everyone should own a Ducati at some stage in they're life.

without doubt the most beautiful bike built in the last century, a thing of beauty.

Indeed and the 916 would be THE ONE to have, in any of its guises ... IMO but I'm a bit biased.

OP, You don't need it but GLWTS. Whoever ends up with this in their garage, is a very lucky person.
