For a certain kind of person, there’s a particular joy in bringing a previously abandoned bike back from the dead. That’s exactly what you’ll see in the latest restoration timelapse from RRC Restoration, a YouTube channel that typically does an impeccable job on the projects that it tackles. While this channel tends to favor workshop ASMR rather than extensive use of music beds, there’s also plenty of explanation about what’s going on at the pertinent points in each video.
As you’ve probably already noted from the photo, what we have here is an extremely sad-looking Ducati 748 SPS from the late 1990s. It was apparently left to sit in a barn for some time and was a project bike that someone started but never got around to finishing.
