Good Morning Thanks El toro for the intro So here it goes, I am trying to find my dads old Ducati 999s in black. He brought it back in 2005 from Baines in Northamptonshire in the UK. The spec was a full termignioni system , full ohlins , open dry clutch with carbon cover, marchesini wheels, a remap, carbon hugger, tail tidy probably some other trick bits also a daylight running light on the front. It had yellow decals and wheel decals and monoposto rear. One thing I can remember was that the rear carbon hugger had a nick in it as a nail exited through it in the fast lane of the m25 and luckily made it into the hard shoulder. The bike was on a plate S999NBS on an 03 Plate prior sadly I do not have the prior reg or VIN and in 2017 had approx 17k miles. The plate is showing on a Volkswagen car now, the bike was sold to a trader in mid 2009 and then ran again for a few years but dissapears in 2017 if anyone knows of the bike now or has seen it anywhere please let me know if would be greatly appreciated I currently have an xsr700 yamaha but debateing an 899 or 950s supersport at presnt Thanks all have a good weekend ride safe
Thanks all for the hello just to mention i have searched hundreds probably thousands of social media and images prior to posting here , nothing worse than a noobie posting before searching
Really hope you can get some more information on your Dad’s bike. Can I ask why you’re so keen to find it?
Hiya He had several bikes when I was young a 907 paso, 996, tl1000r and the 999 and the 999 was my favourite to be honest , he is all good and well and has stopped riding now but I honestly just want to find it and cherish it and its the only reg I can remember sadly otherwise I would find them all. The 999 does hold a extra fond memory as he would have been on a train on 7/7 at the wrong time but he rode to work that day luckily first ride of the year and I have never been so relieved to hear a bike as a kid when I heard him get home that day on the 999 you could hear it several streets away
That plate is still showing on the 999S when I search. The last MOT was is 2017 and currently no tax on it
