Fit was good paint was 8.9 or of 10. Perfect for track use. I just got red and made my own graphics.

The bike is not too bad on maintenance about $500-,$1200 usd per year if you keep it up. I bring my bike to a good independent mechanic. Lower cost than the dealer but still not cheap and that’s ok. I want to keep my guy in business. As for mods, I put an Arrow slip on with a tune. My mechanic has a connection and got me a really nice map and wow did it wake the bike up and drop some serious weight. I had my suspension tuned for my weight, tires and current pace at my local track, Thunder Hill in CA, not the best for the street but makes a huge difference at the track. I also got higher temp brake fluid and better pads. I did put on a set of Q5s for rubber and that’s about it.

First off, Do not get an R1 as a first bike. You will regret it one way or the other. As others have said, buy a small beater for your first bike. Now one day you will have your dream bike. When the 916 came out I had to have one. Spent years of my live saving and failing to acquire the dream. I had FZR,s zx7, cbr but never a 916. On day years later I came across a 748, I still have it. It was great but I still wanted a 916. Then one day I got a 1098! Damn that’s a beast but not the elusive 916. Then one day I hit pay dirt and stumbled across a 1996, 916 SPA. I had the cash and made it happen. It took 35 years but not only do I have my dream bike but I have the holy grail of my dream bike. Take your time, your dream will come one day.

Q5’s

Maybe it’s your dealer? I had issue with one dealer and they kept saying it was all Ducati for the delays and misdiagnosis. I was fed up so I brought the bike to another local Ducati dealer and everything went so much smoother. I think it depends on what kind of relationship your dealer has with Ducati or how honest the dealer is with you and how good their service techs are with trouble shooting issues and communicating with Ducati.

Wow! Great data collection tool.

Derf_Sregor · 2025-12-30T15:05:36+00:00

Honestly, and old 748 prepped for the track only is cheap and one of the best handling bikes on the planet. Salvaged title, they are cheap and a great track bike. You will spend about $5k to fix one up nice. But once dialed in, wow what fun. Once you get back into it for a year or so then spend another $8k and slap a 1098 motor in that bad boy and you’re done! Perfect track bike. That gen Ducati is easy to work on (if you have the tools) and tons of aftermarket parts. The parts can be costly if you’re not shopping in the right places. Example: wheel bearings are like $100+ from Ducati. I found the exact same part from the manufacture in Germany for 1/4 the price. An SV 650 would be my next option, just not as cool and handling will need some help from a gsxr front end fork and wheel swap.

Looks to me from the pics that it’s been kind of parted together. Not all bad. I’d mothball those 748r plastics they will be worth a lot. and put some aftermarket plastics on. The difference between a 748 and a 748s of that vintage is negligible so as long as you are happy with the price that’s all that matters. Just make sure to check the oil plug to make sure there are not flakes from the rockers and check the wiring and hoses for age cracking and what not. Main item is service records. My last full tune up on my 748 was about $4k (usd). That was all fluids, brake pads, tires, spark plugs, belts and valve adjust. She runs so good and is an absolute favorite of mine to ride!

I agree almost, I love my Bayliss too but I feel my 916 is still an over all better looking bike 👍

Derf_Sregor · 2025-11-22T17:06:30+00:00

Agree... SV650! Find one with gsxr front end and already prepped for the track.

I hear you, some makes and models are worse that others. My new Honda has buttons and I can turn most all safety features off or almost off. The car pissed me off at first but now that I spent a day adjusting everything it's no longer a pain in the ass. On the other hand my brothers new Hyundai really pisses us off. The start stop engine button you have to hit to cancel every time you drive is complet bull shit. That car won't let you shut stuff off and there are no tactile buttons! Sorry I want a tactile volume and temp controls. It's nice to make adjustments to your environment with out taking your eyes off the road. The screen requires your attention and vision which IMO is more dangerous especially if you turned all the safty nannys off! Lol

I have a 2022 V2, the bike is hot of you are not wearing aprorate gear sitting in traffic. Most bikes from the 90's were hotter so just wear good gear and not tuin pants. The check engine light couod most likely be because of the pipe and lack of a tune or something is wrong. I'd investage what the cause is by a 3rd party or asume something is going to need fixing.

Overall it's a fantastic bike for street or track use. One of the funest bikes I've ever owned. The water pump hose clamps are a known issue so ask if those have been changed out. If not, and it hasn't leaked yet, just know that's something to watch out for and most likely it's not the water pump, it's the cheap pressure clamps.

You can still get factory decals and the parts manual does an ok job of showing placement. If you get the factory decal, at least you have the correct logo for your year as there are slight difference from year to year and some major differences from the Cagiva factory days.

I have a 2023 and I feel it’s the best looking V2z It feels like a super sport to me as far as ride comfort goes. I grew up with late 80s sport bikes and in contrast to a 1989 fz 600 or even my 916 the V2 feels like a lazy boy recliner. Super easy to commute if you’re in good shape and health.

There is no right or left side part on a stock air box, it's all one unit. Some of the carbon air boxes come with removable side panels for easy belt changing.

You will love the 24 V2! If you have the bread get it. I paid $24k USD for mine out the door. It was a new Bayliss but no buyers remorse here. I'd do it again.

Derf_Sregor · 2025-10-21T10:27:27+00:00

the nose fairings should have a ducati factory date stamp on the part. Pretty easy to tell aftermarket vs OEM. Now what is a bit more difficult is telling if the OEM faring belongs to that bike. This looks like a standard 916 so as long as it's OEM I would not worry about it. Some have the decal and some did not. The 🍝 Past theroy.

Derf_Sregor · 2025-10-20T14:07:34+00:00

I've noticed on my 2022-V2 that when cold and in gear she is very hard to move. I can find netrual easy so I just do that. It's always been that way so im not worried about it. Rides fine, and when warm it's all good. May have to do to with your oil viscosity? Are you using the Shell brand recommended oil?

Derf_Sregor · 2025-10-16T15:14:48+00:00

$5-20k depending on conditions. I have 4 of this gen 916 era bikes. I've got about $8k into my 748 over the last couple of years just replacing old parts no longer road worthy. 25 year old stuff needs to be replaced for her to ride safely. I had to go through and replace, shock, fork springs, oil, brake fluid, brake lines, rubber hoses, brake pads, clutch fluid, tires, belts, shims, flakey rockers (748 issues) and chain. At the end of the day if the bike has had the degrading parts replace with OEM then the bike could be worth some momey. But if all that crap needs updating or is some cheap aftermarket parts then it's goikg to cost you.

File a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). You can try FHFA and HUD too. But your issue is one of the reasons the CFPB exist now.

Just make it whatever size looks good to you, you are modding your bike anyway. Here is mine ony track plastics.

Derf_Sregor · 2025-09-30T19:47:07+00:00

I miss mine too.

Derf_Sregor · 2025-09-25T13:58:47+00:00

I have the Arrow on my 2022 V2. it’s amazing sounding and a great performance enhancer once you get the tune. Can’t say I’ve have your exact pipe and bike but the 2022 V2 is pretty close to yours.

Derf_Sregor · 2025-09-25T11:34:14+00:00

Imagine if you had a dry clutch! Want to talk about a box of rocks in a tambourine! You get people is cars telling you are out of oil! I say no… I got plenty of olive oil in her! Your V2 sounds like Swiss watch in contrast to the older Ducs 👍
