Ride (look) like Troy: 2002 998S Bayliss Edition #308
Ducati, Bayliss and no reserve. Three things that should go together more often. I have to say, I really like it when sellers do no reserve auctions. In my mind it is telling me they are serious about selling and not out fishing. I say set a starting price you are comfortable with, take off the reserve and let it sell. Enough of my Ebay pet peeves.
I would think this would be one desireable Ducati. It is the body style everyone loved, it’s a limited edition race replica and it has only 2,400 miles on it. I’d also assume this would be one of the more sought after race replicas since Bayliss is so linked to Ducati.
Have a look:
And the need to know from the auction:
you are bidding on one of the most beautiful ducati’s you could possibly buy. 2002 ducati 998s troy bayliss edition #308/400. not a common ducati to see around. loss of 1/2 my wages due to partial layoff forces sale of my beloved troy bayliss edition. only 2400 miles on it . bike is pristine, as new, not a scratch,chip ,dirt, bugs or any marks,and the engine is so clean you could eat off it . cleaned and waxed immediately after every ride [including the inside of carbon fiber side panels]. never seen rain, !! i am very/very particular with all the bikes i have owned and keep them all as new . just had the complete service [over 800.00] 2 weeks ago. oil change, belts and a set of new pirelli tires[200.00].
bike runs absolutely perfect !!! not one problem ever with this beauty.starts immediately every time and runs strong and perfectly !!! the sound of the termis is awsome , just look at the outlets on them ! this bike needs absolutely nothing !!! i have seen a few of these on ebay now and then and you wont find one lower than this price!! i guarantee it !!! and most DO NOT have the service done so you will have that added expense plus the tires would need to be changed , unless you like riding on brittle 9 year old tires ???!! belts also get brittle from sitting just like the tires and can break causing severe engine damage ! this is all done for you already !!! . comes complete with troy bayliss original cover from ducati, plaque showing vin number and number of bike with original red velvet box,2 keys and troy bayliss model original owners manual.like i stated before this is #308 out of 400 made world wide with only 140 coming to the USA. most you dont see and will never see because people are storing them and are not ridden,but i have never seen any #200-#299 in the country ,but that doesnt mean there are not any. fuel tank has troy bayliss’s hand signed autograph clear coated from the factory to ensure it does not wipe/wax/rub off, these were all hand signed by bayliss on the specal editions and are not a stamped autograph
I have seen this bike personally, it is owned by a good friend (and riding buddy) of mine and when he states that this bike is clean, he means it. I have not seen anyone more particular with their motorcycles.
I am confident that whoever purchases this bike will be very happy. That being said, I hope the buyer will ride this awesome machine from time to time and not let it sit on display. These bikes perform even better than like look.
There you go guys. How many bikes on here have reccomendations? Looks like the bike had no takers the first time around but it is relisted and has several bids currently.
