Ducati Superbike description

I'm selling my all-time favorite bike. 


This is a 2002 Ducati 998s Ben Bostrom limited edition super bike. It is built to commemorate Ben Bostrom's 998 and is signed by him on the gas tank with a clear coat on top. There were only 155 of these built. This is number 151. 

Unlike the Troy Bayliss edition with 400 produced, the Ben Bostrom edition is much more rare and only seen in magazines or online. I've never seen one on the road or at exhibitions. 

This bike is totally fresh with a new lithium battery, brand new tires and fluids. It will ship with the stock exhaust, stock clutch plate and cover. Those in the picture are not included in this auction. Some of the stock highlights are carbon fairings, Ohlins forks, Ohlins rear and Ohlins steering damper. It has a carbon chain guard and a carbon license plate assembly. 

There is a small scrape on the back fairing that happened when I swung my foot over the back the first time. 

These bikes are appreciating quickly so this is your rare chance to get one.  

This is the bike that even the Ducati dealer walks out to check it out.

Many hands make light work...

Wed, 27 Apr 2011

This was the sorry looking JHP Ducati after Darren Fry crashed it in qualifying on Sunday before the first race of the championship. Fry broke his coccyx in the crash but, fortunately for Fry, it took around 10 people just over 3 hours to get the bike ready to race, as can be seen in the picture below. Hats off to Darren Fry for racing the bike over the rest of the weekend.
