2003 Ducati 999R Superbike

Original owner of this first edition 999R #182. The bike was purchased during as part of an exclusive Ducati auction similar to the recent release of the Superleggera. The purchase price was nearly $34k. There are more than $6k in upgrades (not including the gunmetal race body).Like other R models the 999 comes with a more powerful modified engine design that includes numerous upgrades including titanium valves conrods lightened crank and forged pistons. The frame was modified to meet homologation requirements for World Superbike. It comes from the factory with a stock exhaust cannister and a racing canister for track use. The R model also includes fully adjustable Ohlin shock and forks forged aluminum Marchesini wheels and a complete OEM carbon fiber body in red.Upgrades included with the sale of this are bike a full titanium Termignoni exhaust kit (lighter large diameter header) including air filter and ECU upgraded Ohlins factory valves for shock and forks Surflex slipper clutch Ducati Performance rear-sets and Braketech floating rotors.I have a complete track body kit that will be included in the sale if the purchase price reaches $14500.00. If that purchase price is below $14.5k I will give first option to purchase to the buyer at a price to be negotiated. Pictures of the bike with the complete gunmetal grey body kit appear at the end of the set. The track body is an all carbon fiber Bursi kit purchased from Motowheels which includes a complete belly pan and significantly lighter than stock. The body kit includes a nose fairing bracket (for removal of the headlight and provides a mount for the instrument panel) frame sliders (that pass through matching holes in the fairing) and a tinted Puig windscreen.Paint work was done by Cyclefinish.The kit includes two tanks (one in carbon painted to match but which requires repair) and a second stock tank (in factory Ducati grey - which is not an exact match and could use fresh paint).The bike has been very well cared for at Desmoto Sport in San Francisco. Full service completed (early) including belt replacement. California registered through June of 2016. The bike is available for inspection at Desmo at the buyer's expense/request.Check out the 999R review on Visordown for more information on this model.
