On the "Made in Italy" stickers my 81 MHR & 85 F1750 had black on gold versions just behind the fuel cap.

The MHR sticker lasted till the first full tank of fuel leaked out through the cap :roll: , the F1's sticker, being under the clear, is still there.

They certainly cover 8 years of radical change at Ducati - away from the bare bones (it's got ignition spark, why do you want more electrics? era) rattlers into the modern electric everything, smooth era. Maybe, I'm just getting old but the newer ones just don't float my boat - the 851 is only margi...

No worries - now we've finished the house renovations I might even get to ride 'em, rather than just shuffle them round the shed ;)

Sold for US $2,550.00 - ouch.

Shipped from the factory 25 years ago - so mid 80s maybe the black zip is from an 80's model (part 797-85-108)

Hi from Tasmania - Oz

Hi

Stumbled across these forums the other day & thought I should join - it's a very handy resource.

The next time the sun's shining I'll take a pic of the toys & post it :)
