This time we're back to restoring motorcycles namely this Ducati 748 SPS that was abandoned by its owner long ago and left to rot in this barn, but I've since saved it and restored it back to fully road going condition and found it a lovely new home to live in with its new owner. I hope you enjoy this episode and will leave a little like and a comment to show your support. Enjoy.

The 748 was always seen as the baby brother... The 916 design was years ahead of it's time. One of those few cases. I had lots of Ducati model bikes, and my huge collection started from my first 916. Always loved this bike. And if money was no object, even the 748 would be in my garage today. thanks for sharing this rebuild.

Just finished watching this video whilst my wife is watching some rubbish Australian wedding show on TV. This is the best thing I’ve seen on RU-vid for ages. How long did it take to complete. Phenomenal work and it’s amazing to me that you had the right tools to hand straight away, I’m always rummaging around through various drawers and toolboxes. Hope the new owner is as happy with the bike as I was watching you put it all together. Best wishes from Wales.

@gianlucaiafrate739 Год назад

It's bad to see in what initial conditions you can find a piece of art like this 748 sps. It's beautiful and even ugly at the same time to see in which conditions a restored bike that anyone can buy is in the origin, and then how can it be restored. I prefer good and preserved pieces to totally restored ones. A big thumb up from Italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

@tedvanmatje 7 месяцев назад

I remember back when my mate pulled up to the guardroom on his new 748 and it sounded broken. "It's the clutch plates" he said 😂 Hell of a bike, as is the 916 sp.

@federicomuller5348 9 месяцев назад

I have 40 years riding bikes and have always ridden them as if I had just purchased, just exactly the way you gently tested your machine, just shifting gently and smoothly with low rpms, that way you can really feel the engine like a cat purring

Yes, I also like to feel the engine by gently using it ( most of the time ). Only occasionally I ride bike fast for a short distance. So, I totally understand what you mean.

Fabulous stuff. Always so wonderful to see time, effort and prodigious skill put into restoring beautiful machinery that would otherwise decay beyond repair. Well filmed and produced too. I once almost bought a 748 back in '02 but made the silly mistake of riding my Blackbird to the dealer. At the time I felt like my pushbike had more power.
