Look what I found yesterday in a shop at the Shanghai Tianma F-3 circuit....

Who says that R's are not affordable?
It might not be completely "original" but it got 999R on the fairing right?

That's...different!

 

[TLinuf]

So, what is it?
It's certainly no 999R ....

I am not sure, my bet is a 400 as the base, not sure though.
I dont think they were sold in Europe or the states, just in some countries in Asia like Japan, due to import taxes.

Surely someone has spend a lot of time to "rebuilt" it, but being in China for 10 years, got my doubt on the quality of the work....

Great find! Fun pics.

What do they want for it?

 

[Chuckracer]

Right! I forgot about the 400...that makes sense.

They ask RMB. 23,700.00, which is some US$ 3,500.00.
If the bike is really good, it might do some RMB. 18,000.00 I guess.

But, considering the normal way of working here, I doubt it is in good condition. Basically the Chinese are masters in fixing, and I should not be surprised if the technical part is built from 3 different bikes (not necessarily even matching in our western view). Fairings just come from one of those suppliers in the south of China, cheap fiberglass which melts during a hot summer ride

And they not only do it with Ducati's, here some pics of a Honda "SP-2" I saw last year and posted on the Fireblade forum..
