Ah I see, it's got upside down suspension with the linkage mounted on topDeegee wrote:Seems to be part of the suspension linkage, it's connected to a rocker arm and transfers swingarm movement to the shock.
Apologies about the pic, couldn't save it so had to screenshot it.

Re: 848 EVO
To be fair, it doesn't really do it for me. There have been plenty of Ducatis that I've loved, but the 899 Panini is the only current one that even vaguely arouses me.

Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Re: 848 EVO
Yes. But it could just be someone who bought it and scared themselves shitless on the first ride.
Nothing to lose by asking to see the bike as its not far from you.
The ad title is wrong too which does not bode well.

Re: 848 EVO
That was for sale in one of the motorbike facebook groups. People asked the same question. The seller reckons he's not had chance to ride it and he only had the belts done because he was told the replacement intervals are based on age and not mileage.

If the owner will give you the reg number then i'm sure JHP will be happy to confirm its history.
