About this model
About the Ducati 851
The Ducati 851 is a historically significant Italian superbike produced from 1988 to 1992. It was the first production Ducati to combine a liquid-cooled 851cc L-twin with desmodromic four-valve cylinder heads and fuel injection. The 851 won Ducati the first two Superbike World Championship titles in 1990 and 1991, with Doug Polen and Raymond Roche taking the riders' crowns. The road version (Strada) and the race-kit version (Superbike Kit) were sold alongside each other.
The 851 is not for beginners: the ergonomics are uncompromisingly sporty and desmo valve maintenance requires specialist knowledge. Today the bike is a sought-after collector's piece in the vintage superbike segment. It rivals the Honda RC30 and Yamaha OW-01 in collectible status. Well-maintained examples are rare; documented service history is decisive at purchase.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check desmodromic valve clearances: these must be adjusted every 12,000 km by a certified technician; neglected maintenance causes serious engine damage.
- Inspect coolant hoses and the radiator for leaks and age cracks; replacement parts are scarce.
- Check the condition of the Weber-Marelli injection ECU and wiring harness for oxidation; faults are expensive to diagnose.
- Examine aluminium frame welds for hairline cracks, especially around the steering head; early production aluminium can suffer fatigue.
- Ask for complete documented service history; for a classic like this, proof of desmo servicing is value-determining.
