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.

The 848, challenged

Mon, 18 Apr 2011

Last year I decided to enter the 848 Challenge and ever since that decision, a challenge is exactly what I've had on my hands.On one of his last days at the magazine, Barry - our mag designer - took Ducati's 848 to Brands for some instruction with our very own Niall Mackenzie. An ex-GP god, a pristine Italian superbike and a dry Brands Hatch. What would possibly go wrong?

Motorcycle Riding Creates Bug Art

Fri, 23 Jan 2009

Being an artist, A.D. Maddox (pictured above) believed that all of the dead bugs accumulated on her leather jacket while riding her motorcycle were going to waste and could lead to an artistic endeavor. Her creative solution?  Slap on a painting to the front of her Ducati and bring her art to another level.
