Today is a bit about eye candy. Well, it’s really all about eye candy. My day really comes together when I see a great machine photographed in a manner that really makes it pop. Today’s seller has done just that, and I welcome you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the sublime photos of a Ducati 998S in striking livery.
From the seller:
This one is #015/155, only 155 of Ben Bostrom special edition models made for this market.This bike literally needs nothing. I just had EVERYTHING & anything serviced to get this bike ready for a new home. 6k service compete with fresh belts and valves within spec, new spark plugs etc. (Old belts come with the bike, as well as valve clearance sheet)
Everything has been done.

Awesome pictures and a great write-up by the seller regarding services completed and modifications made. I know that we here on RSBFS tend to prefer bikes in more of a stock condition for collector value, but you have to admire the dollars thrown at this limited edition Bostrom model – it looks absolutely sano! If you can live with the “Mr. Knievel goes to WSBK” graphics, there is little about this low-mileage, booming twin NOT to like. It appears the internet agrees with that assessment, as bidding has been pretty spirited on this bike. It is still under the reserve price, but getting closer with each wave of the virtual auction paddle. Check it out here, and then ride it like a Boz! Good Luck!

Why is the speedo disconnected?
Epic Catch!! ZOINKS! I know mine is hooked up because the odometer moves when I ride it….
pretty close to the ugliest Ducati livery ever
Sharp eye, Brendan. A good catch indeed. I guess crisp photos work both ways!
The seller did note that the bike has a new OEM spedo drive cable, so it is possible that the photo shoot happened during that time. It doesn’t necessarily mean something nefarious is going on. If you’ve had any experience ordering Ducati parts….

Heh… Beauty is in the eye of the beholder… I find the attraction to bikes (like this) is always stronger when viewed in person – much better than even nice photos; just something “different” now and then to make things interesting !
SOLD for $13,600 in relatively heavy bidding. Congratulations to the new owner!
