2002 Ducati MH900e
Miles: 1,268
Clean Title [Bike Located in Florida]
Listed Price: $34,900
Listing Ends: July 13th, 2026
Inspired by NCR’s classic Ducati racebikes and styled by Pierre Terblanche, just 2000 examples of the Ducati MH900e were produced in 2001 and 2002. It’s a shame that so many examples end up like this one, basically as garage queens and display models. But it’s not hard to understand why: they have very real sportbike DNA with excellent handling. But the ergonomics are truly, famously awful, the fuel tank holds just 2.2 gallons and, while liquid-cooled, four-valve Ducati v-twins were winning races in World Superbike, the fuel-injected 904cc two-valve air-cooled Desmodue that powered the MH900e produced just 75hp at the rear wheel. To be fair, you can actually ride them: a friend of mine had one and we spent alternate Sundays blasting the canyons when he wasn’t riding his Buell, and he honestly never complained about it being uncomfortable. But they are more show than go, if pure speed is your thing.

2002 Ducati Mh900E 1268 Actual Miles (2042 KM) Well Kept Example – Serviced and Tastefully upgraded Plaque, Rear Stand, some original parts and bike cover Included
This example of Terblanche’s striking Ducati MH900e unsurprisingly has very low miles and is in collectible condition: most of them are. I’d argue that the bling-y clutch and stator inspection cover aren’t the most “tasteful” additions, but the lack of detail in the listing isn’t really an issue, as any new owners should plan on a full service if they plan on riding it anyway. And the long-term ownership experience shouldn’t prove too painful, assuming you don’t drop the damn thing: under that exotic skin, the bike is a very standard two-valve Ducati twin, and maintenance is relatively simple and affordable. If you’re really serious about upgrades, CA Cycleworks used to make a significantly larger gas tank, and Staintune used to make a snazzy set of louder pipes that look virtually identical to the stock parts but with added rumble. Both of which are worth tracking down if you can find them used or NOS.

Anyone know why is has a larger oil cooler than the other oil cooled bikes Ducati was making around that time?
Friggen ugly over priced Duck.Never understood the MH900e fanboy love.
This bike was very much style over substance and, given the performance of the Desmodue, I’d assume it was a stylistic choice. Or Ducati had a few extra large ones lying around and thought they’d look good.
