Hi Mike and welcome, hope you get some miles soon, nothing worse than back problems,

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.

Thank you Slob

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

Nope. Early ‘94 bikes had unchamfered silencers too.

the lodger · 18-10-2019, 09:56 PM

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.
