hi there,
need some advice badlY!.. i have plans to purchase a 916 from a private seller thus need some advice.
over here in singapore, ducatis are pretty rare, and the value of the machine is hard to estimate. hope you could give me some advice.
the bike that i'm looking at is a 97' 916bip but registered only in 2001. its totally stock expect for carbon fibre rear hugger, chain guard and clutch cover. mileage is 32k KM. last valve adjustment and belt change was done during june 2004 at 25k KM. (that particular servcing was quite an extensive one, which include belt, valve adjustment, clutch plates, etc). I would need to touch up on the paintwork though as there are slight scratches around the bike. Selling price is SGD$11.8k.
i shall quote another 3 recent sales of ducatis, thus i hope by comparing them, you guys could offer me some advice.
1) 996S sold at SGD$18k (98 or 99 model, 2000 registered)
with carbon fibre bits here and there, STM clutch slave, arrow titianium full exhaust. ohlins damper, rear shock and marchisini wheels ( i think the rear shock and wheels come as standard for S models?) bike repsrayed with new paintwork. mileage was 27k KM and belt and valve adjustment was done less than 2k KM.
2) 996bip sold at SGD$17k (2001 registered)
with carbon fibre bits here and there, arrow exhaust (not sure half or full system though), ohlins damper and rear shock. paintwork was ok. need no major touch up. mileage 18k KM.
3) 916strada sold at SGD$8K (1994 registered, 94 model)
stock..with some carbon fibre bits and ohlin rear shock. mileage 80k KM.
the fact that the 2001 registered 916 is in fact, still a 97 model, make me hard to estimate the value. am real worried that i might be over paying for the bike.
