Produced by Ducati between 1987 and 1992, when it was succeeded by the Ducati 888, the Ducati 851 was the successor to the air-cooled two-valve Ducati 750 F1. Development had lagged with the continued use of two-valve engines, but new investment funded the technological advance that Ducati desperately needed. After buying Ducati, Cagiva invested in the development of another V-twin, but with liquid cooling, and four-valve desmodromic heads.
This Ducati 851 must be one of the best on offer in the country. UK supplied and UK registered from new, there's a collection of old MOTs in the history to support the mileage of c.15,519. Believed to have been fastidiously maintained, there has been a recent extensive engine overhaul. All that was needed was replaced and it was described as 'running very well' at the time of consignment. The body panels are in the original paint finish, including all fasteners. For a machine of this age (29 years) it has been very well looked after. It is offered with a current V5C, owner’s manual and workshop manuals. A file with an original sales catalogue and receipts for recent work of almost £4,000 from Ducati, Coventry, accompanies the machine.
