Xerox have Haga's old Ducati in their building over in Welwyn Garden City. I think they said it wasn't a race bike but just one he used for promo stuff. Still had all the trick bits though but never turned a wheel in anger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Lucky for you they did not accept your offer. I know that bike from here in Belgium and it looks like it is not really what they say it is. Know also one off the previous owners who used it on the track. It is a really nice bike with lots off great parts,but there are a few bits wrong to be a real 996 corser. And if you pay the price for a real factory bike then it should have the correct parts if you ask me. Color of the frame looks still bronze to me wich indicates that the frame is from '98 or older.factory racers had a grey frame in '99. I also remember that the bottom yoke was from the older 916 racing with "916" on . But the worst is the front fork wich is fg43,great fork(has one myself in my 888). But not what should be in such an expensive"factory racer". Could even be that the '99 had radial brakes,but not sure anymore on that should have to check. I also remember that the name xaus was on the bottom of the seat. Great bike,but to expensive. Henk!!!
Lush though! I'm a big fan of the old bubble butt SRAD! I think the owner uses it on trackdays, it was features in performance bikes a few years back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1999 Ducati Factory 996 RS Superbike | Coys of Kensington here you go. but price is wrong. reserve is 65 big ones
The blurb is wrong too. The 996S wasn't the SPS engine AFAIK, as it didn't have all the lightweight internals and sandcastle casings.
And the SPS was showa front/ohlins rear and no change to the undersea exhausts. All a little odd. But guess they must know their stuff...
sales guy @ Coys to his own admission didn't know anything about bikes. he didn't even know who troy Corser is... he had to get other dude on the phone for me to ask questions... but yes, there are a lot of inconsistencies in the bike description/condition/spec @ this price!
