Description

Please note: This bike does not run. As such, there is no cold start video.

Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this Ducati 999.

After a long series of 916-based superbikes, Ducati dramatically mixed things up styling-wise with the vertically-stacked lights and double-sided swingarm of the 999 in 2003.

The styling was polarizing but the riding experience was not. As Bike Social puts it in their review of the 999: “The 999’s desmo V-twin is simply beautiful and has all the lazy power and torque you would expect from such a bike.

This example is VIN: ZDM1UB5T63B001674.

True mileage unknown. The odometer shows 20,189 miles.
