My local dealer has one in the shop now which is for sale and I was told another 3 reserved which no one has put any money on for as they backed out. So there are bikes available.

Maybe I should stick mine in a crate and send it to America if they're in short supply over there.

Also there is another listed the same day saying that the person can't afford the bike and is willing to transfer everything over to someone else for a price.

What an ass!!!
Unless he sells it!

When picking up my 749 I asked about them and was told that although they are selling, there are more available.

2002 in total.

I would think the 95 bikes coming to the UK are the only 95 being built with MPH clocks, the correct lights, exhaust and airbox. The other European bikes would be sold where ever, and the US and Aus/NZ bikes would be the same spec also.

Maybe the 250 US bikes have all sold long ago, and they aren't selling here. Though it's easy enough to convert bikes for another country and even easier with the Paul Smart as the parts could be exchanged to Sport parts as they're the same.

I think they're fantastic looking but if I had one I reckon I'd just want to admire it all day and definately wouldn't want it to get wet.... EVER!!!

A bike is a bike and it's there to be used, atleast that's what I tell people who comment on mine having an inch think layer of ****e on it. And it's a pain in the arse to clean.

Cleaning the bike can be as sitisfying as riding the bike well it can be when i am cleaning the thing with the girlfiends toothbrush after she has peed me off

Talking to a Rep from Ducati yesterday there are 3 bikes left in the UK. After the 95 coming here have sold that's it.

Have people put a deposit down for them though.

About it being a furture classic, if it's still worth near what I paid for it in 12 months time then I'm not fussed. :wink:
