Ultimate Trackbike 5: Chili's WSB Ducati 916
Thu, 20 Jan 2011Occasionally, some seriously trick bikes with a decent pedigree come up for sale on eBay. Here's the first in a small series of bikes that we've dug up for sale on eBay now. Queston is, which one would make the ultimate track bike?
Ducati 916 WSBK
1996 World Superbike Championship
Team Gattolone (Andrea Merloni)
Rider PierFrancesco Chili
Winning in Monza and Brands Hatch see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYPphw-SNH8
Technical manager was Piero Giannesin, GPM Racing see: http://www.gpm-racing.it/risultati.php Original bike with certification.
This bike is VERY important in the WSBK history because it was the first one to pass the 300km/h, over 12 km/h faster than factory Ducati bikes.
We have bought it directly from Team Gattolone in year 1997 and always kept in our collection. I have decided to sell most of my bikes so this one must go. Good original conditions as in photo, genuine and straight.
It is THE REAL THING, it is NOT cheap so don’t waste my time asking stupid things, be prepared to pay the price. NO DREAMERS.A good investment. Car [I think he means bike] is currently located in Italy, Padova but i can deliver no problem to UK.
Any question please ring to my mobile +39 347 2656235 or email to gianluca@stileitaliano.com
