It’s time for another round of my favorite posts to share: Bought on Bike-urious! This time we’ve got an Ducati MHR 900 that was bought by Bike-urious reader John K!
I met John at the 2022 Mecum auction in Las Vegas, where he bought a gorgeous Honda CBR954RR as well as this amazing Honda 80cc “mini road racer” which had been signed by several road racers of the day:
Good luck trying to fit on this!
I was pleasantly surprised to see an email from John a couple of days ago, in which he said:
“Hello Abhi,
Just a note to celebrate the one year anniversary of the MHR I bought thanks to a Bike-urious post!
Last January while following my typical morning routine browsing bike posts, I happened across your write up of this MHR. I had a call with the seller and ended up pulling the trigger sight unseen. The seller was very transparent and honest about all the good and the bad; when the bike showed up I found it to be just as he described.
I spent the next several months learning, leveraging advice from Steve @ Bevel Heaven to get this back to the proper condition. This past summer I attended several vintage events including Throttlestop ThrottleFest and enjoyed the bike immensely. I attached a few pictures, pick up day and the end result after winter revival.
Thanks again for the great lead and for doing what you do!
John K!”
Congrats to John, and thanks so much for sharing your story!
