The Ducati 916 won the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) in its 1994 debut season and its evolutions three times after that. For 1999, the stronger and much improved 996cc engine of the limited-edition 916 SPS was standardised on the new '996' model, while a Ducati Corse works development took Carl Fogarty to his fourth and final World Superbike Championship that same year.

Britain's next WSBK hero would be Neil Hodgson. Neil had had a tough time in the WSBK when he first entered the series in 1996, and in 1999 he returned to the British Superbike Championship with Team GSE Racing. His team-mate Troy Bayliss ended up champion that year but Neil bounced back to take the title in 2000 following a season-long battle with Suzuki's Chris Walker.

The Ducati 996 S offered here is one of 35 machines built by the UK Ducati importer to celebrate Hodgson's British Superbike Championship win, and comes with a letter of confirmation from Ducati UK. Forming part of a private collection since 2016, the machine features a full Termignoni exhaust system; Ohlins suspension; Ducati Performance air tubes; swinging-arm cover; and many other official Ducati parts. The '100' decals (Hodgson's race number) were added by a previous owner. Described by the vendor as in very nice condition throughout, having covered only 16,186 miles from new, this collectible limited edition Ducati superbike is offered with all books, service history and two keys. A Datatool alarm is fitted.
Offered with key
