Interspersed among the legion of red bikes, Ducati has always had an alternate or special paint available, sometimes black or grey, in limited editions tri-colore or green, and more recently white. Variously called speed, Ferrari, or fly yellow, the paint on this nicely updated 998 jumps right out in the Arizona sun. 2002 Ducati 998…
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…
The past few years have gone by like a flash, but even more so for this very mint Ducati special. Built just in 2001 and -02, the retro-tech Mike Hailwood commemorative began Ducati’s Sport Classic phase. Hard to believe the concept was shown in 1998 and the run of 2000 sold out within hours via…
This is it. The end of the line. The last hurrah. The final countdown. The Ducati 900SS FE or “Final Edition.” Well, not really: 1999 saw the introduction of a brand new-ish, fuel-injected, Pierre Terblanche-styled SuperSport that carried over most of this bike’s strengths.

With not much of anywhere to hide mysteries, this CR appears free of damage and the long-past salvage title might make…
Acknowledging the short Canadian riding season, this pretty 750 Sport was photographed some fine un-wintry day.

Pantah Week continues with this very rare, and very oddly-styled machine. When you say “Ducati” to pretty much anyone, it conjures up images of sleek, exotic, often uncomfortable machines designed to win at all costs on track and inflame the desires of motorcyclists all over the world. What you wouldn’t normally imagine is something like…
