Welcome to the forum Mike, hope your back doesn't stop you putting in some more miles this year, if the suns out, get out.

Hello all, I have owned many bikes but have just bought my first Ducati , a M900 first registered on 23 April 1995. This is now my classic bike . It is for riding but it will be looked after. I'm not sure how early it is . It has a yellow hoop which doesn't seem right for a 95 bike. It does however have a Cagiva fuel cap . Does anyone know ? Engine is #24***and frame is #6***. It has been mildly tuned to the extent of no airbox lid/ K&N filter/gutted standard exhausts but with DB killers , straight through headers and dynojetted to suit. I gather this is a sensible package of mods . Goes well but a bit lumpy on small throttle in town. I'm slightly concerned about the oily engine breather behind the vertical cyclinder which seems to be contributing to the oily smell ...or maybe this is "character" ? I haven't done enough miles to tell if it using excessive oil. I'm sure I will learn all about it over time from the helpful people on the forum. Cheers

hello and welcome
does this help? https://www.mad-ducati.com/Technical/VINInfo.html it may have been late registered only 93 bikes had fully oval silencers, 94 on they were chamfered for more ground clearance. Albie is probably the one to ask about the finer details of early bikes, with luck he’ll be along in a mo. Last edited by slob; 18-10-2019 at 03:59 PM.. |

Thank you Slob
My vin doesn't really fit the information you supplied but it does , of itself, make sense and looks ok. |

Mine are chamfered. They refer to being Cagiva exhausts.

Do they mention M600 or M750 as well as M900 as the smaller bikes came out in Autumn 94 and 96 respectively?

Hi Everyone,
I'm John, i own a 4000 mile 2003 S4R in red, my file sizes are way too big to upload a photo unfortunately, so I'll have to take some low resolution images when my bikes back from the shop. Been riding 8 years, had 4 years off for a career change and this is my first Ducati. |

For posting pictures, you need to use a photo hosting site.
I use www.postimages.org/signup. Once you've uploaded your picture, you should be presented with these options... Click on the blue 'copy' icon next to the 'hotlink for forums' address and paste it into your post. Looking forward to seeing the pics! |
