One of 150 made, verified by the Ducati Certificate of Authenticity
Original exhaust and book pack included in the sale

Produced from 1999 to 2002, the 996 was Ducati’s crowning achievement of the 20th century. With a 90-degree, four-valve, fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, 996cc twin and six-speed transmission, the basic version was said to produce 112bhp at 8,500rpm and be capable of 161mph. Even more desirable was the performance-tuned, lightweight, Europe-only 996 SPS (Sport Production Special). Carl Fogarty’s victory in the 1999 Superbike World Championship made the 996 famous, and the SPS/F represents the Holy Grail for collectors. Just 150 individually-numbered examples were built to homologate the 996 for racing.

SPS/F number 75 is presented in superb original condition, complete with paddock stand and the standard exhausts and brake and clutch levers. Originally sold to Germany, it travelled to the Netherlands before being imported in 2015 by the Motorcycle Broker. British-registered in 2016, it shows only three registered keepers, the present since 2021. Maintained to the highest standard, it had a full service with new belts and tyres by the Motorcycle Broker some 560 miles ago. Seeing minimal use, further maintenance has been performed by Moto Rapido, including a suspension service and fork seal replacement. Having covered only around 26,500km (16,500 miles), it is in “very good” condition all-round with an MOT until August, 2026. Retaining its original book pack and certificate of authenticity, it is truly a machine for the connoisseur.
