I just bought a 1993 (03-03-1993 to be precise) ducati 888 strada. It'got just 33500 km on the odometer.
It's uprated with bos exhausts, K&N airfilter and rewritten eprom.
Other than that is a blank canvas just the way i like it. It's got 20 hp less than my 1999 996 but it doesn't feel like it. Clutch makes a lot more noice than the one on my 996, not sure if it's supposed to be like that.
I think I'm going to take it to Biggelaar (in my opinion the premier ducati specialist in the Netherlands) in Oisterwijk to give it their special biggelaar beurt
part of their site is in English
