Replacing the legendary 916, the 996 was Ducati’s flagship superbike from 1999-2002. The gorgeous Tamburini-designed aesthetics remained, but upgrades like like larger pistons and valves, a stronger crankshaft, lighter wheels, and better brakes all combined for an improved riding experience.

By 2001, the 996 had been granted lighter 5-spoke Marchesini wheels and an Ohlins shock.

This example is VIN: ZDM1SB5T31B010674.

The odometer shows 5,014 miles.

The bike has been sitting for ten years. In preparation for the listing, the seller asked us to prove that the bike runs. – we installed a new battery, replaced the fuel pump, rebuilt the fuel pump sending unit, installed a new fuel filter, and inspected the belts to make sure they’d be OK to use for the running video in the top of the listing. With that said, it will need belts, tires, an air cleaner, and a full flush if the next owner would like to ride it.
