What was the last Ducati they used Carbs on?

[buzzer]

What was the last year Ducati made a bike that had carburettors on?

also, what was the last year the 600... 750 and 900 that had carbs?

I am looking for a donor bike for a special but it must be air cooled and have carbs.

Not sure about the other models, but the M600 Monster had carbs until mid 2001 (Y reg.) same for the 900's, as the 620ie and 900 ie were introduced in 2000, but there were a few later registered ones or hybrids. My old M600 had the later styling, some stickers for the injection, but had carbs and all the wiring for carbs.

Yep, and the M750 as well.

When I bought my pre-regd M750 on a Y-plate in Oct 2001 it was one of the last few M750's left unsold.

Yes i think an early Monster or SS from the late 90s is about right. Cant think of any others off the top of my head

Thanks guys... the hunt is on for one.... some mint ones out there but not too many low priced ones... but i have time on my side as i dont want to start a build until the end of September...

The plan is build either a scrambler style bike... or even a chopper... i guess it depends on the donor bike.... i may even do a restoration...

if anyone sees a likely donor, post the link up!

I know of one. Drop me a PM.

The 600 Monster and probably SS were still being made well after the larger engines went to injection, I believe there was some overlap with the 620ie (probably due to Ducati using up their stock of carbs?). The 900's were the first to lose the carbs.

Also, it's possible to fit carbs to an injected engine...

Thanks, thats an option.... just exploring options at the moment... in many ways a nice 750 ss with carbs would fit the bill, but as so often the case others come up as you start to look...
