Looks like Terry (member of this forum) put his Corse up for auction. The winner won a beautiful bike for a good price with nice history. Hope someone we know won it.

Seems like some of the youtube videos of the bike are not available anymore.

Enjoy some photos instead.

Yes I believe it is. I was just reading that article a couple of weeks ago and thought what a funny story that was , and how funny it is now that it is mine. Strange how the world turns.

No, in this article, the bike is a Lucchinelli Replica (Racing 89).

Mr.R

+1 on that, FOZZIE owned more than one 851/888 race bike.

The heck with the Lucchinelli Replica, what do you know about the #180 bike/rider combination in that photo? Is that a Sports/Harris/851 special? The rider is wearing an Adamo helmet, but his face doesn't look too much like Jimmy. And the round sticker in front his left knee looks like the old USA AMA Championship Cup Series sticker. Where was that?

And funny that I now own the 888 on the front cover 😁

And even funnier is the Ducati factory tours snub marco lucchinelli? I'm only back from the factory and when I enquired why the 1989 bike (851) was not on display got a blank stare and a " no comprendi?

Sorry I don't remember where I found this photo.
It's in UK, the pic's name mentioned Knockhill.
I think it is an Harris, but I'm not sure.

Maybe a Sports / Spondon? Sorry, this is intruding on dudlington's happiness.

My machinist use to spanner for Lucky in the early to mid 70's. There is a reason why the factory isn't happy with Lucky. It's about what some do in their spare time I suspect.

One of these bikes is a thing of beauty , I do not think we should be comparing.

I am very happy !!!!
