the Darmah was the SD900 so not really a little ducati, are you getting it confused with the Pantah 500 and 600s?
I still think the RD500 was better looking than the RG500 but not as good but caught fire less.
The 400/4 is now as it was then, absolutely beautiful and a jewel, much better than the 350 that spawned it.
Jota tall, heavy, quick, bullworker clutch, Montjuic, tall, heavy (but lighter than the Alpina) fragile.
MG 850 LM Mk1, a lovely but unreliable jewel but not the tractor of the later bikes.
Fazer 600, a lovely commuter.
Blackbird (carbed) one of the bestest bikes ever and as you say as near to a complete bike as likely to get, had mine over 10 years now.
350LC, boy racer of the time, trounced by a CB500 now sadly in all areas apart from character and kudos :lol
And the list could go on, but very few people would recognise these unless of a certain age.
