As the title states I have a 1999 Ducati 748 Monoposto superbike. This bike is absolutely gorgeous and a blast to drive errr ride. The problem is that I have suffered numerous concussions lately and riding a motorcycle probably is not the best thing to be doing in hopes of preventing any future concussions. First of all the bike has less than 3500 miles on it, yes that is right, thirty-five hundred miles, three thousand five hundred miles, however you choose to read it. The bike is located in Houston Texas, so if anybody is local they are more than welcome to check the bike out. I am asking 7.5k for lat-g members, I am asking more on the local craigslist. The bike is in immaculate condition, NEVER been laid down. Specs on the bike are below and pictures follow that!

Oh yah and I am willing to trade...not sure what but I dont want to have to do any body work on it, if it comes with a strait six and a powerglide then thats perfect, looking for a work in progress essentially, I just dont want to have to do body work on it. Thanks
