1993 Ducati Superbike on 2040-motos

For sale is my beloved 1993 Ducati 888 Sport Production (h)Omologation (SPO).  She’s maintained to be a daily driver but only used when sunny and dry.  For years she has never failed a 0530 work departure.  Factory original bodywork and never been dropped or repaired.  Every switch and lever works as intended from the factory.  Belts, timing and all fluids serviced within the last 1000 miles.  I also have retained a significant number of receipts from over the years.  I believe I am the third owner after purchasing from a close friend who cared for her similarly.   She is all original with the exception of the following:

• Fast by Ferracci carbon fiber exhaust

• Fast by Ferracci power chip

• Fast by Ferracci carbon fiber front fender (identical to 1994 888 SPO LTD)

• Fast by Ferracci fuel cap

• Fuel tank lined and sealed

• Fuel tank pad

• Lithium battery (Feb2016)

• Performance silicone blue brake and clutch lines

• Profiled rear fender

• European high power headlight

• Battery tender quick release plug

The Ducati 888 SPO was produced for 2 years, 1993(290 units) and 1994(100 units).  These models commemorate Ducati’s dominance in the FIM World Superbike Championship (WSBK).  A dominance that which started in 1990 with the most notable champion, Doug Polen.  In 1994, the same bike was known as the 888 SPO Limited which had two (2) known differences.  A production sequence number plate attached to the triple clamp and a carbon fiber front fender.  Ducati hand-built all 888s which accounted for the low production numbers, high production costs and superb build quality.  Ducati replaced the 888 with the mass produced 916 which significantly increased annual production and profit margins.  Although Ducati’s WSBK dominance continued with the 916, 996 and 998 single side arm variants, I am one of many that prefer the 888.
