That bike appears to be in reasonable condition for its age. What are you planning to do?

The picture is taken from its good side, headers and balance pipe very rusty hoefully clean and rechrome, r conti has been broken and rewelded, RD yammy tail light cheap aftermarket mirrors, headlight bracket. and lots and lots of polishing
The basics have all been done but it looks a lot nicer from a distance
but it is a rider not a princess

Yeah but with all her faults she`s still a bevel drive Ducati in all her tempramental glory. Nice score, welcome to the club.

Looks nice - could be worth.

I would replace the mirrors and tail light - and please remove the pantograph like construction behind the seat

BTW: looks pretty much, than my '80 Darmah. Did not post pics yet, but hopefully will in a few weeks, when I put it out of Sleeping Beauty status
