Brilliant Graemer57

When are you getting it? You're in Kent and the 750's in West Wales. I'm off down there as you know (see above) on Friday - if I can help let me know (beer/bed/shoulder to cry on etc).

I know you'll love the bike - I still miss my 750.

I'm in London so if you want to meet (West Wales or in Town) just let me know via a message here.

Good Luck and WELL DONE

and don't forget - it's not the falling off that kills you - it's the sudden STOP!

I has started already..... :-)

I have just bought the blue 750, though have yet to collect it. I emailed my riding chums with some pics just to let them know (as one does).. and guess what? They are taking the mickey already. Anything that makes them rise to the point where they feel the need to employ sarcasm can not be a bad, I just know I have done the right thing!

And the best bit is, as one rides a Harley FatBoy and the other has a Suzuki B-king and old RG250 stinkpot, their opinion doesnt count anyway :-)

Nice one Graeme

Oh and by the way - Ignore Duc750 - all he seems to care about is whether or not I've managed to buy a toolkit yet (Can't imagine why . . . I think perhaps he has an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder . . . not that this would be the pot calling the kettle black . . .)

You have my details

Best of Luck

I saw that bike this morning.

I can tell you what that is - suspect.
a. no Paso had those kind of Oscam wheels
b. no Paso had an original Oscam on the front and that other type on the rear
c. no red Paso had the silver/red Oscams. They were silver/black. The silver/red were from the white Pasos, 750 Sports and some F1 models. (99% sure)

Hence there`s something wrong about that bike.

G.

edit: on one pic from the rear side the taillight fairing looks repainted due to that orange peel like reflection but that may be just the photo...
Didn`t the P750s with the black triple clamps also have a black passenger grab handle ?
However it looks painted silver, it`s not chrome anymore.
There`re no rear turn signals and the chain seems too loose, too :mrgreen:

addressing your 1% doubt The 750 Paso I went to look at last year also had the same combo. Could be another dealer in the Us thing going on :idea: The Paso I lost out on did have a set of yoshi cans on it but he said he had all the orignal parts. That one went for a g.

Could it have been the same bike ? I know Ducati did all kind of odd things in the early Cagiva era but I doubt they ran out of rear rims when the last few Pasos rolled off the production line and asked Oscam if they had some similar looking they could use instead :)

They are incredibly variable in the UK price wise - some good ones go for a real premium unfortunately some good ones go for peanuts - It just depends on your luck when selling
