I found a minty 2006 999R close to me and actually in the hands of a friend (he is arranging sale for the widow of the owner) It has 2000 miles on it and it is absolutely stunning. The original owner bought everything out of the Ducati Performance catalog for the bike and all the original parts are included in the original DP boxes. Did I mention its a true Xerox? I am not a man of limitless means although my toy garage would lead one to believe otherwise. they are going to ask about $18K US for the bike. Am I stupid to even consider. I really only need a nice Red S to be happy. And I plan on actually riding the bike a bit. maybe a few hundred miles a season. Ive lusted for a 999 since they were originally released.
That is a bargain - snap it up, put it back to standard, sell all the bits to justify buying it - and you have a half price bike or better at that money
