This is a very nice looking 888 SPO located on the East Coast. Located in Varina, Virginia is a 1993 Ducati 888 SPO with 17,500mi. The ’93 SPO is what was offered in the U.S. because the SP5 couldn’t pass U.S. regulations and they needed something to Homologate the 888 for AMA Superbike. These are more closely related to the 888 Strada than the SP5 bikes. Some more information about the SPO:
The SPO engine was identical to that of the 888 Strada, but many chassis components were shared with the SP5.The stainless-steel front discs and Showa fork were shared with the 888 Strada, but the SPO had a single seat, upswept exhaust pipes, and an Ohlins shock absorber with eccentric ride height adjustment. Even though it was a Monoposto, there wasn’t an aluminum rear subframe as on other Sport Production models.
Doug posted one of these SPO’s with 13,696mi for $8,900 just less than two weeks ago and it can be seen here. The asking price for this example seems to be a very fair $7,000 in comparison. This bike looks to be in perfect, original and unmodified condition. If you’re looking for art that you can take out on the town and into the back-roads, see this SPO on Craigslist here.

Errrr, maybe not. Miles don’t match.
