Ducati Superbike description

 The quintessential, real-deal SBK for mere mortals!  It doesn't get any better on the street or track with Ducati's 2001 996S.  WSB Championship winner in 2001 with Troy Bayliss aboard.  Own a legend that dominated an entire era!  As many know, the Ducati SPS (Sport Production Special) were the finest, high-performance Ducati models regular folk could obtain.  SPS models were available until 2000.  A few SPS were titled in 2001, but they were left-over 2000 models.  The 2001 996S was Ducati's replacement variant for the SPS, now discontinued.  The 2001 996S (Special) featured SPS equipment, including: cams, gearbox, Marchesini magnesium-alloy wheels, Termignoni full system exhaust, complete Ohlins suspension/steering damper, and enough carbon fiber/special appointments to bring it's MSRP to a whopping $21,495!  Maximum factory horsepower and massive bad-ass torque which satisfies even the most experienced track expert.  Want to get noticed and draw attention wherever you go?  The outrageous exhaust-note of these Ducati are nothing short of brutish, WSB bellowing!  This 996S model is about as aggressive as motorcycles come.  Yet, she's surprising easy to ride.  Most motorcycles of huge caliber are easy to ride, making any rider, better.  This 996S is extremely RARE!  Only 180 996S's were shipped to the USA in 2001.  Already a collector's dream-bike.  These particular Ducati models are destined for motorcycle immortality.  Listed for way below the value of most SPS offerings.  It's the same bike!  In some ways, better.  This 996S is being offered with free shipping within the United States if the Buy It Now price is met?  Prospects can purchase with confidence, as the cosmetic and mechanical conditions of this pampered 996S are impeccable, beyond reproach.  Please do not contact seller asking what might be wrong, or flawed?  At 17,000 actual miles, do the math?  Having been lightly-used since new, this Ducati's odometer reflects (approximately) 1,000 miles-of-use, per year.  Precisely where an experienced enthusiast would expect the mileage to be in terms of normal ownership.  Both biposto and monoposto seating are included, as are many high-end optional equipment additions.  All the original factory equipment will be included with the sale.  There is only 50 miles on a brand-new set of Bridgestone Battlax S21 MotoGP approved tires.  Very sticky!  A new RK Gold Racing Chain was just installed along with the new tires.  All maintenance and belts, recently done.  About as perfect and mint as a Ducati can be!  You won't find a finer example.  Offered by experienced motorcycle owner/retired airline pilot.  Hurry if you want the best collectable 996S money can buy.  Your satisfaction is absolutely assured.  She's VERY sweet!  Thanks for looking.

“Ducati Remains Ducati” Says Audi CEO

Thu, 12 Jul 2012

Audi AG Chief Executive Officer Rupert Stadler addressed Ducati‘s workforce in Bologna, Italy, for the first time to address his company’s impending acquisition of the motorcycle maker. Joined by members of Ducati‘s management including President and CEO Gabriele Del Torchio, as well as Thomas Sigi, Audi’s head of human resources, Stadler met with Ducati’s entire workforce of nearly 1000 people to discuss the future of the company. The address comes after the European Union granted its blessing to the acquisition.

Ducati 1098R with RS parts

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

This is one properly sorted Ducati. It's a 1098R dripping with factory RS parts. It's located in France and owned by a friend of mine.

Ducati 749R Turbo. 214bhp.

Tue, 22 Feb 2011

I know that the 749 and the 999 split opinion when they were launched. And even today, they don't possess the obviously stunning silhouette of the 848 and 1098 but I'm pretty sure they'll become curious classics in the future. However, this 749 is different and I think it's stunning because, well, it's not the same old 749R with a few carbon bits added.
