| Post subject: | what's it worth? |
i've been following all the 907s sold in the USA for the past 2+ years. almost all sold for between 4 and 5 thousand dollars, depending on the milage, condition and after-market upgrades. I haven't followed the European market as closely, but from what I've seen on e-bay, European sale prices are competitive w/ USA sale prices. the following upgrades are common: exhaust cans air cleaner racing chip bar risers chain wheels (sprokets) braided brake and clutch lines corbin seat euro taillight fender elimination kit clutch cover these upgrades alone cost a couple of thousand dollars, so factor their presence or absence when shopping. other less common (and more expensive ) upgrades include: dzus fasteners rear suspension master cylinder brakes/rotors marchesini rims (2 grand minimum just for this!) clutch and/or slipper clutch high compression pistons 944 kit obviously, the presence of any of these upgrades increases value significantly. generally, red is the most desirable color, and red 907s sell for more even though black 907s are much rarer. re-paints and custom paint jobs decrease value significantly. milage is important. under 15,000 is good; under 10,000 is great. more than 30,000 is high and decreases value. '91s are the least desirable; '93s are the most desirable. after model year "91, Ducati upgraded the brakes/rotors and switched from black to silver exhaust cans. check the condition of body plastic carefully. older bikes often show stress fractures at or near the fasteners. replacement body plastic is hard to come by and expensive. and even if you find it, the paint may not match well. check the condition of the paint. the painting process for the 907 is complicated and not easily replicated. it's not a simple matter of buying touch-up paint or ordering paint with paint codes. paint problems decrease value substantially; conversly, good paint enhances value. mechanically, check for maintenance records. pay attention to valve and timing-belt maintenance. Ducati recommends that the valve timing belts be changed every 12,000 miles. this job is expensive. if the bike your considering needs new belts, this decreases value. make sure the bike idles and accelerates smoothly, w/o back fire. fuel mapping problems can be difficult to diagnose and expensive to repair. finally, consider who the current and former owners are/were. there are always exceptions, but generally speaking, 907s owned by "mature" riders haven't been ridden as hard, have fresher engines, and probably less repairs and headaches down the road. young bucks tend to ride harder, causing greater wear and tear on engine, suspension, brakes, and chasis. good luck! |

Hi everybody, every market has his own rules. I also have seen on eBay that the USA prices are higher than the european. But, concerning the upgrades, I would avoid the enhanced bikes 'cause, buying an old bike, I think is best to prefer a stock bike. These bikes are turning out to historical. So, if I would want customize a bike, I would buy a Monster... P.S. £. 2.200, for me is for a like new bike... Ciao |

My new bike is red of course. I don`t think I would have bought one in any other colour. I think Dukes are like Ferraris in that respect! I picked it up on Sunday as planned and really enjoyed the ride home despite getting caught in a downpour. It feels really planted and very comfy to ride. Love the noise also, even with the standard cans. It is obviously not as quick as my Triumph but it sure is pretty!!! |

Glad to hear! :thumbup: I just bought a red 907IE a month ago and certainly love the way it sounds with the stock cans and the open airbox with a K&N filter! It growls! Congrats on a great purchase and if by any chance you come to a Daytona Bike Week let me know so we can meet and ride together with the Local Ducati Crowd from Florida!
