[icyuod2]

hi guys and gals.

my name is leigh, 36 years old and currently living in london ontario (canada)

last night i purchase my first ducati. i have other vintage motorcyles also.

as it sits i've got a 1967 305 big bear (yami)
a 1964 trailmaster 80 (yamaha step through dirt bike with heel toe shifter)
and an old 69 ct90.

found my way to the forum, trying to figure out which model ducati is sitting in my sunporch.

which will bring me to my first post.

i just wanted to say hello and introduce myself to the group.

welcome aboard.........

To figure out what you have, you could tell us the engine ID numbers etc

You could post a photo or 3

You could have a look through the hundreds of Ducati brochures I have posted in the big site here http://www.bevelheaven.com/brochure-index.htm

Buying this book would be an excellent first move to get absolute details about your bike, or any Ducati for that matter

motor is stamped dm200, the head tube is stamped 200ts
its missing a few pieces, but otherwise in decent shape.
i imagen you've seen it before. (former owner mentioned the site)

any idea how many where made? i see they only did them for one year.
was there a problem with this particular model which warrented such a short run?
