SUMMARY
A stunning example of Ducati's rare, 998cc Testastreta-powered, 'homologation special'. This 2002 996R is one of only 500 built (350 'Customer Bikes' and 150 without LE numbers). This is one of the 150 'un-numbered' bikes and has been subject to an extensive, documented restoration with less than 500 miles since.
DESCRIPTION
- Produced between 1999 - 2002, the Ducati 996 was an evolution of the legendary 916
- Retaining the stunning Tamburini design, it is almost indistinguishable from its predecessor
- The bike was available in various specifications; Biposto, 'S' and the track-focused SPS
- After losing the World Superbike Championship to Honda, Ducati introduced the 996 R
- It had a production run of only 500 for homologation purposes and was the first Ducati to use the new Testastreta engine which featured a new narrow angle valve design developed in Formula 1. The engine actually has a displacement of 998cc and included more aggressive cams and Titanium conrods with a shorter stroke and larger bore for higher rpm and increased horsepower
- 350 'Customer' versions of the bike were available for sale online on the first day of release, and they sold out in six hours. A further 150 bikes were held back by the factory for use in racing and other markets, however, these did not carry limited-edition numbers
- As well as the Testastreta engine, the 996R boasted a race frame with adjustable steering geometry, Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes, Marchesini lightweight wheels, and carbon bodywork with revised aerodynamics. As close to a factory race bike for the road as you could get
- This bike is one of the 150 un-numbered bikes and has been subject to an extensive restoration which is documented in an accompanying file
- Confirmed running, the bike has covered 24,276 miles, very few of these since its restoration
- Supplied with a current V5C, restoration file, good service history and MOT information
