2006 Ducati 999 Biposto
Registration no. RL55 OUN
Frame no. ZDMH400AE5B015508
Engine no. 009462

To say that the arrival of the 999 struck the Ducati world like a thunderbolt would be a gross understatement, so different was the newcomer from what had gone before. The model was introduced in 2002 as the 999 and 999 S, both of which used the 998cc Testastretta engine of the preceding 998. Today the quirky 999 has its own band of dedicated devotees, and there can be no denying that it represented a major step forward in performance terms over the outgoing 998.

This Ducati 999 was part of a display of motorcycles and motor cars in a one-owner museum overseas until 2019 when it was acquired by the vendor and shipped the UK, arriving in February 2019. The odometer reading at the time of shipping was only 1,868 miles. The machine was then sent to Ducati Alton (WM Snell Performance) in Hampshire for a full service including new timing belt and MoT (at a cost of £1,300) then UK registered 'RL55 OUN'. The Ducati has been dry stored and regularly run to temperature but not ridden. Prior to the auction the bike will be fully serviced and MoT'd by Ducati Alton (bill on file). In excellent condition overall, it now displays only 1,870 miles. This pristine low-mileage Ducati 999 is offered with a V5C, fresh MoT, the aforementioned service bills and a rear paddock stand.
