Re: Another 907 back on the road (almost)!

Great news! I took last Friday off and went to pick up the 907 from the shop. Planned to ride north to Denton then out by the airport, observatory, the old Nike missile base and back but rain started about halfway there so went to Arlington to surprise the guy I bought the 907 from in 2001. He was t...

Re: Another 907 back on the road (almost)!

I checked in with a guy who lives near me and owns a 907IE. We met because he used to coordinate an Italian car show each year and I registered to show my Ducati one year and met him. Just checked in with him and he is focused on mountain biking now so the 907 has been sitting - just like mine did. ...

Re: Another 907 back on the road (almost)!

In the US values for the 907 bottomed out a few years back at $2500, but have been climbing and they are now valued between $5000 and $6000. Hopefully you are seeing a similar appreciation for the 906 in New Zealand.

Re: Another 907 back on the road (almost)!

I cannot stand Harleys, or most of the characters who dress up in road pirate/outlaw costumes and ride them. But I do understand what you are saying about the passion built into these bikes and most everything else the Italians make! Parts are getting to be a problem here - could not find that nylon...

Re: Another 907 back on the road (almost)!

Now we know, the future of the UK rests on your shoulders- I know it's a lot of responsibility but you can do it! Several years back I took the 907 to an Italian car show that had added a bike class. I met a guy there who also had a 907 and realized he lived a mile from me; I better ride over there ...

CONGRATULATIONS!!
You can double check http://www.stillontheroad.co.uk and see that you are the last one.
I don't know how many are left in Texas but I doubt there are many.
If only we could meet up to see each other's bikes and take a ride together...

Re: Another 907 back on the road (almost)!

Thanks Benelliman! The Dallas - Fort Worth market is massive, but the Ducati dealership says they haven't seen a 907 in at least 6 years. Our bikes are getting more rare all the time, I read somewhere that there is only one with an active license in the whole UK! For better or worse, this one is goi...

Re: Another 907 back on the road (almost)!

Yes, The cans/silencers were virtually gutted and the tube you see when you look in the end of the silencer was welded back in place. Looks completely stock but sounds amazing. Hardest thing the welder says he's ever done- like a ship in a bottle. BTW, I did pick up the bike yesterday and it is so g...

Re: Another 907 back on the road (almost)!

Great point - the original owner installed the Euro/off-road only chip when the pipes were done and it runs flawlessly. I still have the US market (lean) chip that he saved and included with the sale to me. That, and the Corbin seat are the only things that are not standard from factory delivery bes...

Another 907 back on the road (almost)!

I couldn't wait any more and had to post the good news: my '91 907IE was sitting for 13 years and now should be back on the road before the weekend! Back in 2001 I bought the bike from the original owner and rode it exclusively for 3-4 years, eventually putting 21k miles on. Then I bought a 2001 Tri...
