Considering how rare these bikes are, we have posted a significant number of them in our 16 years online. Most that we post have very low miles, which leads me to believe that all you Ducati lovers knew this was a collectable right out of the box. And interestingly, though today’s example has more miles than we normally see for the MH900e, it has the original wooden shipping crate! So this owner knew it was collectible and he rode it. There is something to be said about that.

Mike featured an MH900e back in 2020 “A viral internet sensation, the Ducati MH900e (Mike Hailwood evoluzione) was launched online and sold online – and was an instant hit. Designed by oft-derided South African visionary Pierre Terblanche (also known for the Supermono and 888, as well as the 999 series), the MHe was intended to be a conceptual update to the original Mike Hailwood replica. By all counts Terblance knocked this one out of the park; from all angles – in photos as well as in person – the MHe is an impressive motorcycle. One can get lost all day in the details; from the tank to the abbreviated tail, the waspish waist, the huge shotgun exhausts, the intricacy of the single-sided swing arm to the simplicity of the center-dominated tach – some of the details are clever and downright devilish.”

“Unlike some garage queens this one has been ridden, and shows 7,462 on the clock. The asking price [$20,000 back in 2020] is very much inline with current market values, and given the scarcity of these models interested parties should reach out and connect”

This will be interesting. Though that example did sell in 2020, it was January 2020. The world had not yet shut down, so the boom had not yet started. We’re looking forward to seeing how this bidding goes.

Good luck to the buyer and seller!
