2003 Ducati Superbike on 2040-motos

This is a 2003 Ducati 999 biposto. I am the second owner and purchased from the original titled owner about 4 months ago. I was looking for a 749, but I found such a pristine bike close to me, I couldn't pass on the 999. Long story short, this is too much bike for me. I know these are 'only' 124 HP, but this thing can really move. I have owned liter bikes before, but I just don't see the point now. My skill set is not at that level.

With that said, I am looking to get back to an Aprilia RS250; less power, displacement, and weight.

The original owner had bought this from MotoBritalia (I actually bought my first Aprilia RSV1000 there that same year) as a demo bike with about 1800 miles on it. He rode it several times and held onto it as a collector. Anyways, it had sat for years. He would occasionally start it, but through the years, that dropped off as well.

I bought it and replaced the battery with a Yuasa (OEM for Ducati). I replaced both spark plugs with OEM Champion plugs, both cam belts with OEM Ducati belts and tensioned to 110 Hz. I replaced the oil filter with a K&N and oil with Mobil 1 4T 15-40 synthetic. I also flushed and replaced all brake fluid and clutch slave fluid with DOT 3/4 fluid. I worked the calipers (removed and exercised the pistons) and they work flawlessly. I put new Pirelli Rosso Corsa's on there; they now have about 800 miles on them. I removed all fairings and cleaned everything very well. I drained and flushed the fuel system and installed a new fuel pump due to varnished fuel. I degreased, oiled, and adjusted the original chain.

The bike has a clean, clear title and has not been dropped. That is apparent. It comes with all 3 keys (the red and both black). It also will come with the 999 development hard back book. The original owner was nice enough to give that to me when he let it go. This bike really does look a few years old, not 14.

Here's what I know is not in perfect condition. There are 2 scratches on the bike that have been touched up, one on the front left wind diffuser fairing from when I was loading up on the trailer. One is on the bottom right of the tail fairing. I scratched that one removing and reinstalling the tail fairing. Both are touched up with the matched red paint pen, but I didn't spend a lot of time on these, so if you look hard enough you can find them. The insulation on the front side fairings is still in place, but the inside of it has deteriorated and fallen out. It looks in good shape, but there's not much filling left in there. There is one rubber grommet that retains the left fairing to the nose fairing that is missing (was when I took it apart), but the fairing Dzus fasteners seem to be more than adequate to retain the fairing in place. The very bottom of the left/right fairings have wear from 3000 miles of riding. Nothing bad, just some small rock chips and a few scratches. The seat is a used one from another bike. I attempted to re-apolster the original seat due to bubbling between the padding and cover, but didn't do the best job. That will also go with the bike. The only aftermarket thing on the bike is a 14 tooth front sprocket. The original sprocket will go with the bike as well but is way too tall geared in my opinion.

When the title was transferred over, the original owner couldn't power the bike up, so he connected it to a tender to get the mileage. It showed 3844, so that's what he put down. When I put a new battery in and set up for the US, it showed right at 2389 Miles, so I went back and looked at his pictures. It had defaulted to KM/hr and KM, so he had recorded KM as the mileage. The bike now has about 3346 miles on it. I have the original picture that he took and you can plainly see KM/hr on it. I will not write under 3844 miles on the title transfer and I will not mark as altered on the title. If this is a problem, then please do not bid. I'm not going to brand a title of such a pristine bike for a simple reading mistake. I can either convert it back to KM on the dash and record that or record just over 3844 either way.
