Apologies about the pic, couldn't save it so had to screenshot it.

Ah I see, it's got upside down suspension with the linkage mounted on top

Pukka 888/926 Corse race bike currently being serviced at JHP.

is it ever ridden?

That is absolutely stunning. One of my dream bikes

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.
...and as a trackday tool, it doesn't look like it would crash particularly well.?

You're not alone. I thought I was missing something. It's ugly.

I've had a little experience, but I'm yet to find a bike that does!

Sound too good to be true?

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.

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.

Nah too soon, just trying to get an angle on what I will be able to afford.

Plus it looks too doggy to me high milage EVOs are going for around 8K
