For 2003 Pierre Terblanche penned a smoothly faired liter-bike capitalizing on the narrow Testastretta engine, the stacked headlights and air scoops generating a love-it-or-hate-it response. A World Superbike adapted for the road, the 999 can stretch a one-hour ride into an afternoon of deep braking and wheelies leaving the corners. 2003 Ducati 999 for sale…
This isn’t something we’d normally feature here on RSBFS, but given the effort that went into this restomod Kawasaki Z1 and the performance that’s likely on tap, it seemed like a fun bike to share. Keep in mind: “musclebike” and “sportbike” are general terms at best, not a specific category of motorcycle. And remember, they…
The first Ducati with 4 valves per cylinder, fuel injection, and water cooling, the Desmoquattro 851 was introduced in 1987. Along with winning a lot of races and national series, continued development brought home the World Superbike Championship in 1990. Handling improvements paved the way to subsequent wins with the 888 and 916 models. 1992…
Here is an exceptionally clean Ducati 996s for sale in California. Mileage is low at 1,600 and the bike has the correct 996 triple tree plate so this does appear to be 1 of the 180 produced S models. The Ducati 996 is a bit of a middle child bike; based on the legendary…

These days, Ducati has their hand in virtually every style and at every level of motorcycle racing, although their Moto GP efforts have been…
Update 12.30.2014: This OW01 is back on eBay with a buy-it-now of $20k. If you missed it the first time, this is a very reasonable buy! -dc Because the specs and overall silhouette for the Yamaha FZR750R are misleadingly similar to the regular FZR750 and don’t feature an exotic engine configuration like the Honda’s RC30’s…
1987 saw the introduction of a new four-valve, water-cooled L-twin engine in Ducati’s new 851. While the air/oil cooled two-valve motor was and continues to be a motor with impressive tuning potential and durability, it had hit its performance limit in racing, and something new was needed to compete against the four-cylinder bikes from Japan.…
Following the even lower miles Ducati 851 we posted the other day, here is another virtually unused Ducati superbike. This one is typically even lower on the desirability scale than even the 851, especially since it’s not the uprated S model. But with just 60 miles on the clock and the reserve met at a…
