Ross emailed me yesterday to alert me that his 999R is available on Ducati.ms. With just over 10k miles, this one appears to have been gently cared for amongst three owners in only 6 six years.
Update 8.4.2011: Price is now $13500!
From the seller:
Have been thankful to own one of the best V-Twin Superbikes ever made. I am not riding this bike as much anymore, and it is a shame for it to sit under a red cover and not bring joy to someone else. So time to thin the herd.
I am the third owner of this bike, bought it at 5K miles, and now it has 10,196 miles on it. Was pampered by its previous two owners. Have had all routine service done at the dealership (GP Motorcycles in San Diego), and this is where it is currently sitting for sale on consignment. Major service was done at 6k miles, and right before listing the bike, I changed all fluids, inspected the bike for any problems, and put on brand new Michelin Power Ones. A piece of mind for the new owner.
Never been down, and I have never had it to the track. Never even seen rain. Clean title in hand.
Two black keys, no red key.

-Full race fairings, never mounted. Painted like WSBK, stickered up.

Bike is listed at $14,999.00, but I am flexible, and I am open to offers.A lot of members have been contacting me, and happy the bike has generated a lot of interest. I know Cali may be far for some of the East Coast members. For your piece of mind, I can have a Pre-Purchase Inspection done at the dealership, and scan you the results. There are threads on here for good shipping companies that can move the bike economically, and safely. I can ship the fairings separately to you as well.
This bike is awesome, and if you test drove it, you would buy it. If you drove it on the track, you would buy two…
PRICE REDUCED:
$13.5K
Truly want the bike to find a good home. Again, bike is in sunny San Diego.
I like all the spares it comes with and the spare fairings for track days. It’s an R, someone should hit the track with it!
Thanks for the heads up Ross and good luck with the sale!

I’ve had the opportunity to ride this bike for a short distance and can offer that it is very, very well sorted. It’s also meticulously kept by a true enthusiast, so rest easy if you’re considering.
