What Are The Truly Rare Ducati’s

Indeed, emperors clothes ....

 

One that never breaks down

 

Just like the 1299R

But they did race and won the championship in 2011 with Carlos Cecha

* Pedantic?

 

Yes, that's how it's spelt in English Mr Pedantic

 

Being a bit pedantic here, the 1299 fe was raced by Troy Bayliss in the asbk, so it has a little racing pedigree.

 

Yes, that is indeed a bit pedantic.

 

TBH on reflection I think I may have seen that somewhere too, perhaps at the Museum? H

I did check one of my reference books (50 Golden Years of Ducati, from Archives of Motoclismo magazine) before I posted and that's what it said.

 

Barcelona built Ducatis generally fetch much lower prices than Bologna built ones. And the 24 Horas was notorious for having several supposed flaws. People used to call it the 24 Horrors. Or the 24 Whores.

 

Austin engine in drivers footwell, outside the Bell Inn in Ramsbury Wiltshire.

 

Lovely, that.

 

That’s pretty damned cool. Don’t think I’ve ever seen an Austin version! Want

 

Missed this, thats fair, still not an uber rare or uber desirable one, its not a 996R is it ..... !!!! I'd love a 996R ......

 

I've got one of them...………..

 

Ah, the interim superbike model that paved the way for the 998R. Interesting historical oddities, those 996Rs, so they are.

 

The 996R: a Championship winning Homologation special, unlike the 998R which didn't hence they are more sort after and worth far more

 

Yeah. Still gash though.

Anyway, carry on. You always do!
