• Incredibly low mileage example
• Presented in desirable Giallo Fly

The Ducati 999 was made from 2003 to 2006. It superseded the Massimo Tamburini designed Ducati 916, Ducati 996 and Ducati 998 range of superbikes. This motorcycle enjoyed great success in World Superbike and was raced in the series through the 2007 season, despite no longer being produced, pending rules changes by the series' governing body, FIM, to allow competition of the new Ducati 1098. The 999 was designed by Pierre Terblanche, amid much controversy over its styling. It is known as a high performance, race-oriented motorcycle. With its traditional Ducati L Twin Desmodromic valve actuated engine layout, it has a linear power delivery, with high power and torque figures available even at low RPM. Additionally, with its high spec suspension and trellis chassis, it is one of the finest handling motorcycles for its time. The most beloved are the later model Monoposto with SBK rear trailing arm.

Presented in Giallo Fly Yellow and first registered on 7th September 2004 as a demonstrator before being sold in October 2004 one month later. This 999 has covered a mere 221 miles having been garaged in a collection since new but for the 221 miles most of which was covered in its first year. Naturally, if you wish to use this on the road once again recommissioning would be advised with this model not having been used while stored inside. The 999 represented a major step forward in performance terms over the outgoing 998 and thus is very collectable especially with such low mileage. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
