I've done a pretty good job in avoiding buying rare Z1 parts lately... but still, I should really probably pare down my parts stash in preparation for moving back to texas.

Still need to sell the GS750
I always advertise good parts as "I will take" not "I'm asking". You can put a lot of those hard to find bits in a box. When do you move?
Did you have it for sale last spring or were you screwed by lock downs?

I should be moving around the end of May/early June. A house I really like popped up for sale yesterday, so if it's still for sale by next friday I'm going to drive 14 hours down to texas to take a look at it and put an offer in.

I've had the GS for sale since the summer, both on here and on the local facebook marketplace. Not a whole lot of interest to be honest... other than one guy who wanted to trade a water buffalo engine for it.

IMHO if there's no info found on the 'net about it, it can't be all that special.

EDIT: Ok, so I was reading that all wrong. The seller doesn't seem to be claiming it's a 749 Fila edition, he's just saying the 749S is rare. Whatever. It's worth less than a stock version in my mind because it's been modified. So find whatever the Canadian version of the Blue Book value for a 2006 749S is, and take some off due to not being original

FWIW 245 isn't all that rare for a Ducati superbike broken down by model and year.

Rare, or not, in my opinion the Tamburini 999/749 is the ugliest Ducati sport bike..... even more hideous than the Paso. The Diavel? Well, THAT’S a whole ‘nother story.

How does your wife feel about hanging off the side at the ton?

At $3K, not a steal by any means, but a cool bike I haven't seen offered very often lately. I think I'd probably take one over an RD350 just for the novelty factor.

Get it while it's under $100k
1. NOT a Superbike
2. WAYYY more interesting than a Superbike.
3. MAN I wish I had spare money just lying around!
