WANTED 907IE Project to restore

flchopperguy · **Posted:** Sun Apr 06, 2008 7:14 pm

I am new to Ducati motorcycles-I have 2 Honda's. Saw an article on the Paso 750 in RIDER magazine and researched the Paso 750,906,907ie on the net. I got hooked--I really like the styling of these bikes! I totally enjoyed the internet article pages of 'Vicki's Paso 750' of the restoration of a 750 step by step--GREAT article! :thumbup:

This got me interested in looking into getting my own project. I would really like to find a 907ie to restore, but may consider a 750 or 906. Would like one as complete as possible--at least the engine together and having all body panels and within reasonable driving distance from Florida. :cool:

If you are wanting to sell a 907ie that needs some work and are within 4 hrs(or so) of Florida please e-mail me at suncycler00@hotmail.com
Thank you!!!

Jerry

Hi Jerry,

look at the item "selling mine". Beemerboy offers his 907 which looks a pretty bike.
It doesn't a complete rebuild according to his comments. But every Duc needs a few loving and caring hands.
It's just an Idea.

Thanks for the responses guys! :thumbup:

you guys are cool. That is a nice looking 907. Unfortunately my finances will only allow spending approx $2500 or less

and traveling to get it within one day. That is why I hope to find a project bike that maybe someone is tired of and wants to get rid of it. Thanks for helping me look...
Jerry :cool:

Hello, I actually was just browsing ebay and came a cross a 907ie that had been laid down and needs some touch up it looks like. It has under 20,000 and is in tennessee. It is currently going for $2,300. It has a day and a half left on the auction. It will probably go for under $3,000. That's about the best I've seen. I just sold my paso 750 yesterday unfortunately for $2300 as well. I am getting a 907ie myself just due to the fact that I weigh about 310lbs. The 750 was fun, but I want to go faster ofcourse.

jerry,

I agree with Francesco.
Paso/907 parts are more and more difficult to get, and often are those parts in poor condition.
Restoring is satisfaying, rewarding but expensive if done properly.

Hi Guys! Thanks for the advice :beer:

. Maybe I will try to get one that is more together. I have worked hard the last several months to get out of debt :oops:

and just did not want to get in to deep, but you guys make a good point. Right now I am working 60+ hrs per week and researching for a bike and traveling far to look at one is mostly not possible

The one in TN on ebay sold for $3150 and looked decent. If I only had more time to look into it... Right now one is on ebay from Canada that has green wheels and modified body panels? Not sure I like the rear body mods, plus way too far from Florida.
Will see what comes up.....
Thanks again, :thumbup:

Jerry

Jerry,
perhaps, the Pasos are the cheapest Ducati available now.
But, keep in mind Ducati need a very frequent (and costly) servicing, if you're not able to do it by yourself.
$. 3000 is a decent price and I think you'll be able to find a good bike for that price.
Good luck :beer:

Ciao
