1989' Ducati 851 Superbike

The Ducati 851 Superbike from 1989. A fantastic motorcycle, and frankly a bit of a monster! This particular one is my fathers.

It was made in 1989 and still it looks and drives fantastic. Here's a video that gives you some idea of what it's all about, or at least what it sounds like.

Maybe the Denmark model has carbs with accelerator pumps, hence the 3 twists of the throttle before hitting the starter. :)

@kneedragger29 Hehe, no there isn't any "Denmark-model" ;)

It's just a habit - It does have fuel injection

[kneedragger29]

@Lennardt Ah. Excellent. Well, in that case, you should be pumping is 5-7 times & not three :)

[Lennardt]

@kneedragger29 Well probably - But it was'nt completely cold - wouldn't have revved it much if it was :)

The 851 is the bike that made me become a Ducati fan.
