130mph on sand: £6k and big balls needed

I spotted this for sale on another website. It's not every day one of these comes up for sale. And there's probably a reason for that - not everyone needs to do 130mph on sand...

Ducati 999 Testastretta Beach Racer. If 220 kph on the beach sounds good, then this Ducati 999 is for you. Modifications include fully adjustable Nemesis race ECU, custom wiring loom, waterproof front-mounted ECU and battery case, custom race exhaust, rear wheel modified for 150 section 17" knobbly, crash bars/rad protectors, mx top clamp and bars and quick action throttle. Dyno-tuned by Triple Z Motorcycles. Ready for a booming ride down your favorite beach, or to attempt a beach speed record.

Just $12000 for an absolutely unique machine.

That's just over £5500. You would have an amazing hour on it until you highsided yourselfa mile into the sea...
