Background of the 996 Ducati:

The 1999 Ducati 996 is a celebrated continuation of the legendary Ducati 916, a motorcycle that revolutionised sportbike design and cemented Ducati’s dominance in World Superbike racing. Designed by Massimo Tamburini, the 916 set new standards in performance, handling, and aesthetics. The Ducati 996 retained its predecessor’s striking design while introducing a larger, more powerful 996cc L-twin engine, offering increased torque and enhanced rideability. With multiple championship victories to its name, the 996 remains one of Ducati’s most revered superbikes, leading to the development of models like the 2000 Ducati 996S and other high-performance variants.

Overview of the 1999 Ducati 996

This particular 1999 Ducati 996 for sale has had just two previous owners from new and has been meticulously maintained. Acquired by the current owner, a highly skilled engineer, in 2013 with just over 6,000 miles on the clock, it underwent a full service, including a belt change, in 2018, but has seen little use since. Now being offered due to lack of use, it remains in very good condition for its age.

Included with this 1999 Ducati 996 is a current V5C, service book with stamps, handbooks, receipts for parts and maintenance, and two sets of keys. As the bike is emerging from short-term storage, some general checks may be advisable before returning it to the road.

A fantastic opportunity to own a low-mileage example of one of Ducati’s most celebrated and collectible superbikes. Whether you’re considering a 2000 Ducati 996 for sale or another classic Ducati model, this 996 represents an iconic piece of motorcycle history.

In the owner’s words:

”As an engineer, I have maintained and stored this vehicle like a museum piece. I have enjoyed knowing as much about how this bike has been put together as I have riding it. But now, as we look forward to the summer, it is time for someone to take enjoy of its unique riding characteristics.”

Exterior Condition:

• As you can see, the paintwork, frame and swing arm are all in exceptional condition

Recent Works Carried Out:
