This is one of the later Ohlins equipped 996 SPSs!  Located in Mountain View, California is a 2000 Ducati 996 SPS with 4,500 original miles.  The first year SPS bikes, 1999, featured Showa front forks but starting in 2000, they were equipped with Ohlins front forks.  The SPS bikes also featured Ohlins rear shock, Marchesini magnesium five-spoke wheels, adjustable steering head, a power bump to 123bph and the Ohlins front forks with a titanium nitride coating.  This example has also been fitted with a Termignoni system and carbon silencers, carbon front fender, and carbon rear fender (aftermarket as opposed to stock?).  The asking price is $12,000.  If you’re looking for a piece of Ducati Homologation history and the last of the SPS’s before the switch to R models; see this bike on Craigslist here.

Located in Valrico, Florida is a 1999 Yamaha R7.  This appears to be the same seller, Ozzie, that has contacted us in the past with his rare collection of bikes.  We posted a R7 in the past with these photos that was only listed at $18k; I believe based on the sellers name and asking price that this current listing is a legitimate ad.  Quote from the seller:

1999 Yamaha R7, All Original, Garaged, Mint Condition, Never Raced/Dropped or Safety Wired, never sold to end user. Yamaha Homologation model only 500 made/sold in the world only 50 in the US, Still shows nipples on tires.

The asking price is $26,500.  See the bike on ClassyBikes here.
