A Green Frame I always wanted!

By
The photos say it all. 860GTS spring head bevel motor. 900ss Imola custom built with Tomaselli Throttle, Ciarani Forks, Marzochi shocks, immaculate in every respect. 6000 original kilometres. The bike was purchase new as an 860GTS and immediately converted to the Imola replica in 1976. Owned by avid Ducatist and is ready to show or ride. Absolute Drop Dead Gorgeous motorcycle. Painted in "green frame" colours and in Concourse condition.

    Hi Scott,
    Impressive and gorgeous. And chosen well, great investments. See if you can find a CCM: Jim Scaysbrook was in our team in the Castrol 6 hour. The CCM broke.

    One day I will be able to afford (and use) a Velocette Thruxton. I'm a member of St George MC club now and hope to get back in the saddle again one day.

Well let me tell you it was all well worth the wait and the motor looks like it came off a new bike! So here we are 12 months down with the bike stripped and the Engine Done tick , All fibreglass parts bought  tick , Front forks re chromed  tick , Wheels front and back re wired and rims new and ready to go  tick   Handlebar items purchased and ready to install  tick , Frame repaired and primed ready to paint next week  tick , Tank repaired (Thanks Bret Rosenthal) and together with the other fibreglass items rea
