The Ducati 888 was an upgrade to the Ducati 851. The earlier 851 had introduced liquid cooling, computerised fuel injection and four-valve heads to the company's two-cylinder motors. In 1991 Ducati increased the capacity of the 851 to 888 cc to create the 888. Both engines featured the Desmoquattro valvetrain concept, in which a four-valve per cylinder motor was given desmodromic valve actuation, with cams both opening and closing the valves. Ducati's desmodromic system reduces the frictional penalty from conventional valve springs.
This Ducati 888 has spent the last 27 years with the current vendor. The machine has been enjoyed in that time and has never been on a track. It went to the Middle East for a short time with the owner, due to work commitments, and returned back to the UK with him. It has a new starter motor, uprated AGM Battery and clutch slave seals new front and rear tyres. This 888 is only being sold due to the owner having a knee operation a few years ago and it is difficult for him to ride. It is offered with a current V5C, old receipts and various other paperwork.
