    Most restoration is buy new stuff to replace the old one. This guy restore almost everything, even the front suspension. Respect.

    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.

    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.

    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

    • @umakantgajjewar8898
      @umakantgajjewar8898 ปีที่แล้ว

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.

    One of the most straight forward and realistic vidios i have yet seen.
    Everything tested cleaned made good with no holes barred.Had I been the age where a motorscycle was my mode ot transport, which it was cor years,
    I would be pleased as punch to know that this guy did the job as he has all the right tools for the job and uses them, really great video of very much interested.
    Bilds have changed since my day, my best nile was a triton Triumph 750, having started with a two xtroke 250 arial leader.
    That always stayed in my love of bikes as being a two stroke it was easy to clean, an nice bike to ride and very forgiving, and most repyable.
    I recall taking all the fairing off and coating the inside with a paint they used inside condensers then respraying with the body paint, so they would never rust, kept everything clean inside as well, love the get my hand on one now, but dare say it would break the bank these days, and at 78 i dare say it would only be a fair weather means of transport.
    Thanks for a really interesting video!!!! N

    I almost bought a 748 SPS many years ago. The deal didn't go through in the end, but I did end up with an Ducati ST4. Same engine really, just a 916. Great bikes indeed. I have a Ducati Monster 1200 now, but still, I some times miss the rattling of that dry clutch. A friend of mine asked one time if there was something wrong with my bike, all I told him was Ducati, as if that explained everything.

    So classy from the illustrations from the narrations to the actual restoration man 10 out of 10 rebuild perfect amongst anything else. Not to mention it’s an amazing Ducati. This guy could rebuild a lawnmower and id watch it.

    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. How silly, wrong, (young and stupid) I was back then! Cheers mate from Australia - Dave

    great to see you add so much value in the right way to do things, the front wheel, covering the ecu, thanks for the tip on the headlights, i will have to do them on mine. I have covered 54 thousand miles on mine and owned since 2006. Lovely to see the work you carried out on this one. Mine when the injectors are balanced sounds so sweet. Great to see your work
