‘Lounge Lizard’ Ducati Schmoozes from One Lounge to Another – Now for Sale at Iconic Auctioneers on 16th February at the 2025 MCN London Motorcycle Show
The highly collectable 2006 Ducati 999R - the very last of the iconic 916 series of bikes with only 47 miles on the clock and sold by Iconic Auctioneers (formerly Silverstone Auctions) in 2022, has reappeared and is now offered for sale in at their MCN London Motorcycle Show Sale at ExCeL on 16th February 2025.
This ‘time warp’ 999R was originally stored behind a sofa in a lounge by its previous owner for eight years, perhaps gathering a bit of dust, but no miles, (see photo overleaf) before it was sold by Iconic Auctioneers (then Silverstone Auctions) in 2022.

Since then it has spent another two years in the lounge of its current owner, with no miles added. Having spent a decade off the road, still with only 47 miles, will this ‘lounge lizard 999R’ find a new lounge to settle in to, or will it end up on the road where it was destined to be?
2006 Ducati 999R 999cc. Estimate: £18,000 - £22,000
Mark Bryan of Iconic Auctioneers, comments “It’s not unusual for me to see bikes that I’ve sold in the past reappear, but normally they have clocked up a few miles in between. This bike on the other hand, is as I last saw it…. question is, should it be ridden or kept as is? An intriguing provenance like this bike has adds some fascination to what is a highly collectable Ducati – the last of the iconic 916 series. A Ducati collector’s dream if ever there was one!”
