Ducati 851...
I agree with both the earlier replies. I sent details and photos of my bike to the factory and they were able to confirm that it was a genuine SP3. Thankfully!
The e-mail address I used was:
contact_us@ducati.com
This is the information they asked for:
With reference to your request, in order to carry out further verifications and provide you with the adequate support, we kindly invite you to send us the following pictures (possibly digital) of your 851 SP3:
- a front view;
- a rear view;
- the 2 sides of the bike;
- the engine and the no. punched on it;
- a picture of the frame number, punched on the bike + a copy of your V5C (front/back, in Jpeg or Pdf, where we can clearly read bike's VIN and the registration at your Name, together with the Ownership Start Date).
