Yardley, PA

Didn’t get that blazing red duc under the tree that you wanted? Well, here’s a chance to treat yourself!

This bike appears to be a really clean example of the 998s Bostrom replica. There are typical top line Ducati upgrades featured throughout: Ohlins front forks, rear shock and steering damper, CF rear hugger, airbox cover, and bodywork, along with Marchesini 5 spoke wheels. This model was produced in a limited number of…..you guessed it….155 units (a homage to Ben’s racing number). From the seller:

For Sale – AMAZING 2002 998s Ben Bostrom Replica with only ~2950 miles!

The bike is a dream and surely a collector item. #108 of 155 in the USA!

No issues or worries – just a beautiful low mileage Ducati that has been meticulously taken care of.

Totally stock except for these fine and very tasteful upgrades; Termigoni exhaust, clear tank pad, acculign rear sets(amazing amount of adjustments, upgraded clutch slave cyclinder, open red clutch basket and red pressure plates,

Comes with blue stand and cover as well LOT’s of fun Ben Bostrom memorabilia (clock, signed pictures, hat, etc.)

Reason for selling – simple, I am moving and can only take 1 bike as the wife says, so my loss is your GAIN!

Feel free to give me a call @ 610-710-1332 or email me: charrissimon@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to see it. Sorry no test drives.

Truly A GEM!

Like most LE ducs, this model has not realized an appreciated market value (new list price was $22,695). Well, that turns out to be the buyer’s gain in this case as the $13K B.I.N. is well in line with the past sales for other Bostrom bikes, check them out here. The busy paint work can be a polarizing element – the part of me that doesn’t hate it kind of likes it. The carbon termi pipes on this bike are a great mod, almost mandatory for this model (how did Bologna let this leave the factory with aluminum cans?!?). The seller’s wife pulled the old “you can only keep one bike” trick with him, yeah, I’ve heard that before. and pick yourself up a piece of Ducati history.
