Ducati Superbike description

I'm selling my all-time favorite bike. 


This is a 2002 Ducati 998s Ben Bostrom limited edition super bike. It is built to commemorate Ben Bostrom's 998 and is signed by him on the gas tank with a clear coat on top. There were only 155 of these built. This is number 151. 

Unlike the Troy Bayliss edition with 400 produced, the Ben Bostrom edition is much more rare and only seen in magazines or online. I've never seen one on the road or at exhibitions. 

This bike is totally fresh with a new lithium battery, brand new tires and fluids. It will ship with the stock exhaust, stock clutch plate and cover. Those in the picture are not included in this auction. Some of the stock highlights are carbon fairings, Ohlins forks, Ohlins rear and Ohlins steering damper. It has a carbon chain guard and a carbon license plate assembly. 

There is a small scrape on the back fairing that happened when I swung my foot over the back the first time. 

These bikes are appreciating quickly so this is your rare chance to get one.  

This is the bike that even the Ducati dealer walks out to check it out.

1199R: wrapped and ready

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

Here's a pic from inside the Ducati factory in Bologna. These Ducati 1199R Panigales are destined for the USA; the bikes are being shipped to Texas for the 1199R launch at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA). The picture above reminds me of the picture on the right, which was one of the first wallpapers I had on my PC way back in 1997.

2012 Ducati Streetfighter 848 MSRP Set at $12,995

Wed, 28 Sep 2011

Ducati is pricing its new Streetfighter 848 at $12,995, the same price as the 2011 848 EVO and $2,000 less than the original 1099cc Streetfighter. The new 2012 Ducati Streetfighter 848 is equipped with a Testastretta Evoluzione engine similar to the one powering the 848 EVO but tuned to produce a claimed 132 hp and 69 ft-lb. (compared to the s848′s 140hp and 72.3 ft-lb.) In comparison, the 1199cc Streetfighter has a claimed output of 155 hp and 85 ft-lb.

10 points if you can guess what this bike is

Spotted outside my hotel in Assen. I'm not talking about the big red bike with DUCATI written on the fairing, no. I'm talking about the one it's locked together with.
