1991 Ducati 907ie

Yamaha RD 350 race bike made out of three bikes (so does that make it 2, 3, &4?)

Honda Hawk NT650

Kawasaki KDX250

1995 Ducati 900ss/cr

Honda Ascot, FT500? The single cylinder. Was going to be a racebike. Big life event happens, project abandoned and sold before it even got started.

2000 Ducati 996

1974ish Ducati 750GT  

1966 Ducati Monza

1966 Ducati Monza Jr

Ducati Bitsa  - a single being built mostly out of leftover parts from the other two projects

1997 Ducati 900ss/sp

2011(?) Ducati 796 Hypermotard

2015 Ducati Monster 1200S

1991 Ducati 851

2003 Aprilia RSV Mille R  - set up for track use

2020 Moto Guzzi V85TT

1996ish Ducati 900ss/sp Track bike

1993 Ducati 900SS Superlight

2022 Ducati Streetighter V2

 

The Aprilia and Moto Guzzi were an attempt to branch out a bit. Both were replaced with Ducatis within a couple years. 

I spent ten years trying to buy a 1954 Harley KHK off a friend. He never wanted to sell when I had the money, I didn' t have the money when he thought about selling. Someone else finally got the timing right.

Oh I remember that , Ive got some of my XL185 and my (ah-hem !!) Lambretta that look like that.  No bother, just scan them or take a pic of your photo with phone or i-pad and get it on here :littleguy:

I may be mistaken but I think I see a pattern developing here.
