Another clean, low mile Ducati race rep is looking for a new home. The seller states the bike has been pampered and is in excellent shape with 4470 miles on it. He is asking $12,00o OBO.
Oh boy, if you are a true Ducatist it may be time to print out a few more Benjamins in the basement to afford this thing. I’ll get the bad stuff out of the way quickly for us mortals: the starting bid is $80,000. The good stuff is easy, ITS A FREAKIN WORKS DUCATI!
Here is a little of what I have pieced together. Back in 06 some of the factories were not too hip on the single tire rule in WSB. As a result, British Superbike Racing become a haven for works machinery. The Ducati’s in the BSB series that year were apparently identical to what they were racing in WSB. This is one of those machines. This bike was Gregorio Lavilla’s A bike in 2006, 1 of 8 F06′s produced that year. If you are still on the fence (rolling my eyes) how about this: the engine is a F07 unit. Just in case you still aren’t feeling like Troy Bayliss the owner had the bike sprayed in Xerox replica colors. To round things out the bike has some spares, telemetry equipment and travelling cases. I don’t think you can ask for much else. Well, how about a factory mechanic to look after things?
Feast your eyes below. The two stock photos are for illustration of a FO6 and not the actual bike for sale.
Here are the details from the auction:
Did you ever dream about buying a genuine Ducati race bike? The best of the old breed before the plastic littered 1098 race bikes came along?
Well, here’s your chance because I am offering my very special Ducati 999F06 up for sale.
What is a Ducati 999F06?
Today, Haga and Fabrizio are riding Ducati 1098 type bikes (1098F10) in the World Superbke series but before the 1098 entered the scene the Ducati factory team racers were riding 999 type race bikes from 2003 to 2007 (999F03 to 999F07).
The 999 factory race bikes were raced by famous icons like Neil Hodgson, Ruben Xaus, Regis Laconi, James Toseland, Lorenzo Lanzi and Troy Bayliss.
In addition to this, the Airwaves Ducati team participating in the British Superbike series were given the rare opportunity to race geniuine factory race bikes during the 2006/2007 seasons. These were piloted by Gregorio Lavilla and Leon Haslam, who were given two bikes each.
Please keep in mind the factory bikes (denoted by the F in 999F06) are not the same as the customer/privateer bikes called 999RS. All in all, only eight factory bikes were made in 2006 and my bike is one of them.
What is its history?
This bike used to be Greg Lavilla’s number one bike in the BSB series in 2006 and 2007 and I bought it directly from the team. A letter of authenticity comes with the bike to prove its origin.
The bike was upgraded with a new frame in 2007 and both engines are F07 (factory units from 2007, not 2006).
What’s included with the bike?
A decent package of spares and track duty accessories including a spare engine, several fairing sets, spare wheel sets, front and rear stands, engine starter, a flight case to be used when transporting the bike (used to be Steve Martin’s when he was with Foggy Petronas Racing), front and rear subframe etc. etc. etc.
In addition to this, the bike comes with all its telemetry equipment and some software.
Technical info and manuals on how to start and operate the bike is included
Now I haven’t bought a works bike this year so it may be hard for me to comment on price. $80,000 is a lot of money but I hate to say this, it doesn’t seem that bad for a modern factory bike and all the extra goodies. Ducatinewstoday.com speculates the bike could fetch close to $90,000. In the high end collector market I guess the only knock against it could be that it wasn’t actually Troy Bayliss’s bike. There, that is my reason not to bid on it! While I’m waiting for Bayliss’s bike to go on the market you can bid on this beauty .
I know I’m in the minority when I say this: I think the 999′s were darn good looking. They just look aggressive and purpose built to me. Add the replica paint scheme and the extra bits and I’m sold (well I was sold before then too). This one has enough miles put on it that you won’t feel bad taking it out on the town and enjoying what the Ducati engineers put together. It has a couple of nice touches added to go along with the brake, suspension and engine upgrades you got with the Xerox edition.
From the auction:
2006 Ducati 999R XEROX, 4900 miles, second owner, bought and serviced at Advanced Motorsports.

I’m going to have to figure out a new system for reader submissions with so many great finds hitting my inbox! I’ve started this posts twice already and haven’t been able to finish it!
First my apologies to those who sent auction items that have since passed. We really appreciate your submissions and always try hard to get them listed, but the entire RSBFS team has been swamped with real world job duties.
But enough of that, on to the bikes that are still available that have been sent in by readers.
Jim M. has sent in two bikes, and they’re both delicious in two very different ways. First is this . It has a supercharged Harley V-Rod engine!
His second submission is this very cool :
Andrew sent me this Ducati 999R for sale in Florida:
Many, many thanks to the readers who have picked up the slack while we’ve been away! I’ve got a couple more posts to crank out that I hope to have up soon: RS250, another great collection becomes available for sale, and the RSBFS Holiday store opens Wednesday night. Stay tuned!

2002 Ducati 998s Troy Bayliss, #349. This bike has 4k miles, and is in mint condition. Extras include, carbon fiber airbox, air runners, hugger, swingarm guard, and under tail. All carbon accesories are ducati parts. Termi 1/2 system, as well as forged Marchesini Magnisium wheels. This bike is a very fine example of a Bayliss edition.
This is another piece of rolling history, a 2007 Ducati Team USA Limited 999S Superbike. There were 150 of these bikes produced, all of them sold only in the USA. None were exported. This is the write up from Ducati on the stock version of the bike. With 414 miles from being new, our’s also has the Termigoni 57mm Carbon Fiber full exhaust system, Power Commander, has been dyno tuned, has a 520 Chain and Sprocket conversion and the custom upper triple fork clamp that raises the bars 10mm. The first service was just completed and the bike is ready to be ridden or put on display.
The 999s Team USA edition is closely designed and based on the race bikes used by both the Bostrom brothers and Neil Hodgeson during the 2005 and 2006 AMA Superbike seasons.
If you have not been to visit our warehouse, this Ducati Xerox 999R, #58 with 1387 miles, is another reason you should drop by soon. Another rare slice of modern motorcycle history is now being offered for sale at Automania. The 2006 999R XEROX Ducati Superbike is the customer homologation replica of Troy Bayliss’ FO6 World Superbike Championship Motorcycle that he used to dominate and win the 2006 WSB championship.
It has fundamentally the same specifications as the standard 999R but with the special XEROX badging and a few other mechanical differences
I’m really not knowledgable about the values of these bikes. But they are obviously collector examples that will command some premium in the market. Which one would you pick as best value?
