I bought my 851 in the begining of 2005,for &7,000 extremly well maintained,mopst not aware of ducati thught i was new.since the purchase ive replaced the cluth,starter,and bought a set of pirelli diablos.I blew a head gasket and going through a complete engine rebuild,first thme the cases have been split.I cant wait to experience what the new 851 power is like.All my work is done by berverly Hills Ducati(whis i had a berverly hills wallet to go with it:(.But i love this machine....
