For the 2007 model year, Ducati North America announced a limited edition version of the 999S superbike. They called it the “Team USA” Edition, though many Ducatisti just called it the “Parts Unlimited Replica”, as the design emulated the livery found on Ducati’s AMA Superbike racers piloted by Ben Bostrom and Neil Hodgson.
Ducati unveiled the Team USA Replicas to the public at Laguna Seca Raceway during the US round of the 2006 MotoGP championship, revealing that they would produce 150 examples (exclusively for the US market) at a MSRP of $19,999.
The bikes were initially shipped to dealers without the tail pieces – Ducati had Bostrom and Hodgson both sign each of the tails, then shipped the pieces off to dealerships to be installed on the Team USA Replicas.
Even though the actual Parts Unlimited bike had factory support and utilized R engines, this replica was mechanically identical to the S, and instead got custom graphics and the signatures on the tail. The S model still got you some wonderful factory equipment, such as a bump to 143 horsepower, radially-mounted Brembo brakes, Marchesini wheels, and Öhlins suspension front and rear.
This example is VIN: ZDM1UB5V47B018125. The seller acquired the bike one year ago from a close friend. He is the third owner.
During his ownership, the seller has covered approximately two miles. The odometer shows 14,609 miles. He notes that it was “ridden mostly by the original owner. The second owner collected it, stored it 4 years, and added about 1200 miles.”
Maintenance:
Per the seller, “It’s been serviced meticulously and I have all handwritten records from the original owner. The belt service was performed by our local Ducati master Vince Chu at 12,000 miles. Belts replaced, oil and filter, valve adjust, replace coolant, plugs and air filters. Local Ducati tech Irish Mike had serviced this Bike prior to the 12K service.” He adds that he performed a safety check with a “general inspection of lights, clutch, brakes, cables, and a complete cleaning and test ride” — “it runs flawless and perfect. It looks perfect with no issues at all.”
Modifications:
Termignoni carbon half system exhaust, carbon fiber rear fender.
It is riding on Dunlop Sportmax Q3+ tires with date codes of 4917 and 3618.
The sale includes two black keys, one red key, the factory tool kit and original owner’s manual, as well as the extra signed mono tail.
Cosmetic Blemishes:
The seller states that there are no cosmetic blemishes of note.
