sad day indeed.

[ankhati]

I was set to buy a nice silver '91 model with 41K km on the clock. At the end of this week, then some tosser comes along and snatches it right under my nose!!
I am devastated!!!

I need supporting hugs!!

[paso750]

there will come other chances.
The bike was repainted anyway as there was never a silver Paso and who knows how good the paintjob was done and why it was repainted at all. Think about it this way and keep looking Yours is waiting somewhere.

I see you are from Germany.
http://www.mobile.de has only one paso/907 for sale! It is getting a rare bike indeed. ST2's can be had for almost money at at mobile nowadays.

It looked very original with sickers and all in silver metallic. Even the seat had a matching grey tone.

[paso750]

in fact that`s my Ducdealer who is trying to sell it for a loooong time. It`s a nice, single owner bike, but noone wants it. I see it standing there everytime I drop by.
If the grey seat belonged to the bike from the start, the original colour of the bike was metallic black (dark anthracite or whatever it is).

is it the 907 at
Rikowski Zweiradtechnik ?

[paso750]

yes it is. Where are you from ?

[persempre907]

Really, it seems that a few Paso 906 was factory made in silver colour.
If someone has the Ian Falloon Bible ( ), he can tell us the right numbers.
But, I never heard it about the 907 which was only made in red and black colour, as far as I know.
Ciao

I have one of Fallons books and he doesn`t mention silver 906s, however we`re talking about the 907ie and what other 907ie colours were there other than red (with black seat) and black (with grey seat) ?!

I am from Sweden, there are companies that specialize in transporting motorcycles, but it is a long haul up to where I live.


I know that the paperwork here in Sweden is 200-250EUR, including "TÜV", controlling conformity with fahrzeugbrief, and numberplates.

If I add 800-900EUR to 3350EUR, then the price is getting rather compared to what they are trading for in Sweden when they do trade that is!

The one I was set to buy was a 91' model with 46K on the clock, and the price was 2900-3000EUR. An importing this would be over 4000EUR


If posible you can ask the dealer what his lowest selling price is? And if he knows a company that transports motorcycles in the area?

[paso750]

I can ask.
To what I found in the internet shipping from Germany to Malmö is € 299, to Göteborg € 429 incl. ferry. Seems transports are only done to the harbour.

Maybe cheaper to transport it to Hamburg and then ride it home if you have the time.
Btw the bike had a hairfine crack in the swingarm, left inner side if I remember well. That was cut out and rewelded by a really good welder. Just so you know. (the guy did some jobs for me too and he`s really good). TÜV is new as are the tires and the service.

Sweden would be best because it has to be "abgemeldet", fahrzeugbrief stamped for export. This means there will be no numberplates on it, then it is a hell to transport it through different countries. In Denmark you can have transit numberplates with insurance, and you can have the same thing in Germany. But you can't cross the border with these, so a lot of carefull planning is needed.
Picking it up in Malmö, and drive the 320 kilometers home would be perfect for me. Especially since I have free train travels in Sweden.

As for the hairline crack it soesn't really bother me that much, as long as it is mended professionally.

Absolutely MOST important is that the desmo valve gear has been under good and loving care. Most people probably get terrified when they see a Ducce with 49K kilometers on the clock, but they fail to realize that a well kept desmo valve gear as no friction at all, and therefore no wear, unlike spring loaded cousins.

Btw you can also call him as I will be out the next few days. He (Arthur) speaks english and tell him you talked to me (Gerhard) before. If he hears "Gerhard & Paso" he`ll know
