It doesn’t happen every day to come across a Ducati 996RS. How about two in a week?
This one here is found in Italy:
While it carries the Troy Bayliss colors the seller describes this bike as Neil Hodgson’s WSBK race tool back in 2000. The year after, it was ridden by Steve Martin as part of the DFX team. He mentions that the bike, once returned to Ducati Corse’s factory, was fitted with the Bayliss aesthetics for advertisement purposes.
The bike features its original RS trim and had a complete overhaul including the engine (currently with 500 km in its new life).
The bike comes with a certificate of authenticity and invoices from Ducati Corse S.R.L.
Available on eBay in Italy from Mauro. It is on sale as a fixed ad and no price is currently indicated. Check it out by clicking the link below and …Merry Christmas !
