1991 I think but not 100% sure. May be 1990 or 1992.

1990 is the M1R [conventional] fork, with alloy tank and the lift out, non-lockable, fuel filler
1991 is the USD fork, still with alloy tank but more conventional hinge up lockable filler cap. should have Ohlins shock, it's the only year they came as stock
1992 steel tank, showa shock, the start of the decline. .. . . . . . .

here's mine;-
1990 M1R http://s188.photobucket.com/user/oilphi ... /851%20M1R
1991 USD http://s188.photobucket.com/user/oilphi ... /851%20USD
as i bought them both in from Holland and had to register them they're both on a H plate with sequential numbers!

.

BTW Phil,

the 851 is a 91 USD :)

? did I miss something......

lets see some pics of this Duc then. Sound like a lot of work but be interested in the before and after pic! Started becoming more and more interested in Ducati's ever since Bruntingthorpe and hearing Nigels chattering away in the background. i recall thinking, christ that sounds rough and then someone telling me, thats how they sound, love it!

I'm trying to arrange to get down to Stepney next week or the week after. I might be wrong but I *think* it has Ti Termigonis on it

makes £450 sound appealing value! My USD handles better, if it's a 91 then it should have an Ohlins on the back too
Novice- you're welcome over any time you want to talk about Ducs! or NC's of course :-)
