1999 Ducati 996SPS
Location: NY, NY
Mileage: 4,890
Price: $9,000.00 with no reserve in sight
Being the sucker for homologation Super Bikes that I am these get me amp’d up just as fast as any other.
996 Sport Production Specials are easy on the eyes and this one could be as equally easy on the wallet. I did a quick search in the RSBFS.com archives and these usually have a significantly higher asking price than this one.
Equipped from the factory with an Ohlins shock out back and Showa sliders up front, Brembo’s, racey solo tail and 124bhp these were the proverbial ‘sheeeet’ back in 1999. I lusted after the 916/996 throughout its production life, but that was as far as I could take it….a mere pipe dream. Oh, I’d take one now- grin from ear to ear and pretend like it was 1999 all over again if I wasn’t hell bent on 2 strokes right now.
Here’s the info:
HERE IT IS….MY PRIDE AND JOY…THE 996 SPS, THE ONE EVERYBODY WANTS…THE ONE EVERYBODY NEEDS
THIS BIKE IS TRULY AWESOME…EVERYWHERE I RIDE (DUCATI FAN OR NOT), PEOPLE GO CRAZY WITH COMPLIMENTS .
THE CONDITION AND PERFORMANCE ARE AMAZING…REMEMBER THIS IS A 1999 996 SPS WITH LESS THAN 5000 MILES..
IT LOOKS AND PERFORMS LIKE ITS BRAND NEW.
REMEMBER THIS IS THE VERY LIMITED 996 SPS (RECOMMENDED CLOSED COURSE RACING ONLY) BUT NEVER RACED.
THOSE OF YOU INTERESTED KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM SAYING….THIS IS A RACEBIKE, IT IS EXTREMELY FAST, THE
HANDLING AND BRAKING ARE INCREDIBLE… ITS READY FOR (DARE I SAY) THE TRACK OR TO BE A GREAT ADDITION TO A SERIOUS
COLLECTION….CANT BELIEVE IT HAS TO GO,, IM SURE YOU WILL THANK ME FOR MANY YEARS TO COME
I forgot to mention the SPS’s were equipped with 5 spokes versus the standard models 3 spokes. I think the 5 spokes look 2 spokes better than the 3 and are lighter as well.
Judging by the size of the chicken strips on the rear tire this one hasn’t been ridden too hard and it looks to be in great shape.
Cheers!

Yummy Ducati. They look much nicer without the sticker kits. All class and elegance; Potere Ducati!
cool….these are a blast to ride..I have 2000 model I bought last year…They are different from other Ducs like the 996/998R in that they have the long stroke motor and great low-end grunt – with raw power…
good luck with the sale..
