Today’s post is for a Ducati FILA 999R in Florida with less than 2,000 miles since new. While the 999 series isn’t hard to find for sale, approximately 70 FILA editions were imported into the USA so finding one in this condition and mileage is quite rare. 2004 999R FILA with under 1300 miles on…
The Ducati 888 filled the gap between the brand-redefining 851 and the legendary 916, bumping the 851’s fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, four-valve L-twin to 888cc. The inbetweener status didn’t phase the bike much, though, as it was enough for Doug Polen to net back-to-back World Superbike championships in ’91 and ’92. Production ended in ’94 as the…
Long ago when V-twin Superbikes made do with a mere liter, Ducati made a smashing revision to the 916 series. Like some other revolutions, it was voted down – but the monoposto 999R is the apex of the short-lived Tamburini design. 2005 Ducati 999R for sale on eBay Ducati produced just 200 of the…
Touted as the end of the SuperSport era, the 900SS Final Edition of the venerable Ducati platform was both a beginning as well as an end. The last released model as designed by Massimo Tamburini, the FE was a numbered and exclusive marketing machine that represented the pinnacle of the air-cooled lineup. The next page…

The 750 F1 and its variations weren’t quite the refined-ish, modern-ish, mass-produced-ish machines of the Cagiva era, but they weren’t the nearly hand-crafted bikes of…
I realize that I’m spoiled. I’m spoiled because my current riding group includes five or six MV Agustas that actually run, a pair of RSV4s, a few Ducatis, a couple Bimotas, and a KTM. I’m spoiled because I live in Southern California, and car and motorcycle exotica are everywhere: I’ve recently come across a few…
For six out of the eight years Carl Fogarty rode Superbikes for Ducati, he either claimed the championship or came in second. That sustained championship riding ( 1992-2000 with 1996 spent on Honda ) has led to countless sticker kits and many factory tributes. This 996 has updated -S components and a race-look decal set,…
Many people assume that whatever dusty, badly-lit, low-resolution photographs they’ve taken will be enough sell their valuable motorcycles and include almost no additional information. But it’s easy to head in the other direction and go full-on used car salesman, which the listing for this Ducati 999R has done, going so far as to describe it…
