While this 1992 Ducati 851 Superbike was not a garage queen or stashed away in some collection never to see a twisty road again, this 851 was ridden, experienced, and likely enlightened a few riders to the "Ducati soul" they had only heard rumors about but never understood. The dry clutch rattles, the bike spits back a bit if you're not smooth with it but this is one of the most visceral Ducati Superbikes ever produced. These are special for sure. From what we can piece together, it was a bike from the local market. Going over the records, it had a major service performed at my former dealership, Ducati Seattle in 2005. It remained in that owner’s possession until 2020. It went through one other ownership for less than a year, it was brief and maybe a bit disappointing as it was dropped at a standstill. The current owner is a long time Ducati enthusiast and a well-versed Ducati service tech. He went over the 851 thoroughly, had the paint repaired, went through, and inspected it all again as it had been parked for a few years and the major service was 10 years earlier. All of the fluids including coolant system and hydraulics were changed along with fresh timing belts even though the ones there were changed less than 100 miles ago. Our service techs gave a look over, nothing out of place was found, it runs, stops and makes you smile as expected. We have the service records from the 12k service, the tool kit, 2 original keys and a clean WA title. PRESS Ducati came of age in the late 80s, using ideas that the Far East thought as antiquated and as such not worth pursuing, the Italians enjoyed staggering race successes, and with it many sales to the public, motorcycling hasn’t been quite the same since. Chris Pearson samples the bike at the beginning of it all Based upon the 1978 Pantah bottom end, the design was the first real modern day Ducati Superbike and successfully bridged the gap until the arrival of the 916 some seven years later. The first sight of the all-new Ducati road bike was caught at the Milan show in the autumn of 1987 although the prototype race bikes had provided more than their fair share of clues and insights into what was waiting just around the corner. Developed as a direct descendant of the Daytona winning twin from 1987, the production version of the 851 differed little from that prototype race machine. Ducati’s intentions for the new model were clear from the outset being offered in both Strada (road going) and Kit (race track) specification, for those wishing to put their 851’s directly on to the track. 200 examples of the latter were hurriedly assembled to satisfy the homologation required for the inaugural 1988 World Superbike championship, a roadster based race series that Ducati were more than keen to be a part of. The basis of the 1987 spec Ducati 851 lived on until the end of 1993, gradually growing in capacity up to the 888cc model of 1992, proving so dominant on the rack that the planned update, the iconic 916 series, was held over for more than a year finally making its debut towards the end of 93 ready for its full onslaught in 1994.
