When Ben Bostrom was competing in WSBK with a 998S, he raced with the number 155. So when Ducati decided to sell a limited edition replica, they sold 155 examples in the US, 155 examples in the UK, and another 155 for the rest of the world.
When it comes to limited edition Ducatis, the differences can sometimes just be cosmetic. In this case, the Bostrom rep got you Öhlins suspension, a blue frame, Marchesini wheels, and some carbon fiber pieces.
Whereas the bikes sold in the US got treated to Ben Bostrom’s signature and a set of carbon fiber side panels, those in the UK and elsewhere around the world did not get those features and instead received a deep sump 996R engine. Shared upgrades for the “S” models in all markets included a set of four-pot Brembos, an Öhlins steering damper, a larger exhaust, and a carbon fiber belly pan.
For the US models Ben signed every tank himself.
This bike is number 106 of 155.
