Major service carried out 2020
Current V5C and paperwork
This Ducati 851 was purchased by the second owner with just a few miles on the clock from the sort term first-time owner. It was kept and maintained by him until 2020. It then passed to the current owner in 2020 who has not used it much since then. In good all round condition of its age with some signs of use. It comes complete with a current V5C a large number of MOT certificates and receipts for work carried-out, including a full engine rebuild by Baines Racing.
Produced by Ducati between 1987 and 1992, when it was succeeded by the Ducati 888, the Ducati 851 was the successor to the air-cooled two-valve Ducati 750 F1. Development had lagged with the continued use of two-valve engines, but new investment funded the technological advance that Ducati desperately needed. After buying Ducati, Cagiva invested in the development of another V-twin, but with liquid cooling, and four-valve desmodromic heads.
