Most Collectable Ducaties.......ever ( Inc Prototypes )

By your logic, this thread would have ended in 5 mins. Post the production numbers of each bike, sort them in order from least to most produced and you have your answer.

I suspect the reality would be very different.

 

This is a very collectable Ducatie

 

I agreed for the humour of it all but who will own up to having one? :Wideyed:

 

I've got one :-( but only because my mates missus worked for a Ducati dealer and he got it free and gave it to me as a birthday present!!!! Tw*t

 

here is the list of 15 of the last 15 years , i reckon?
996R - got one
998R - love to get one
999R mk1 - got one
999R X - dont really like the look of it
999R mk2- same as mk1 - not interested
999R F - dont really like the look of it
999R mk3 - same as mk1 - not interested
1098R - amasing
1098R TB - got one
1198 SP - almost bought one , but decided to buy 1199s instead , now wish i didnt
1198R - on the list to get
D16RR - probably scariest ride ever? would love to have a go!
1199R - not really interested
PR - no idea
P SL - super overpriced,

 

You are a Russian oligarch and I claim my £5.

 

Bet its easier to buy a D16 than a 998R :wink:

Number of Desmosedicis for sale on ebay? 3.
Number of 998Rs for sale on ebay? 0.

I would guess in terms on numbers the Superleggera may be the rarest as only 500 were ever made but the question isn't about rarity, its about collectibility. The fact you can't find 998Rs for sale for love nor money says to me they are highly sought after, there are always D16s for sale though. Don't get me wrong the D16 is a lovely thing too but its not as collectible.

 

Nobody mentions the Multistrada

 

Nobody mention the Multistrada!

 

Yes, do not mention the Multistrada.

Beaks are not collectible.

 

Naturally they are, they are a great bike. But the fact you can't find one is because there weren't many made. Simple really.

To me, an RD350LC is highly collectable, even though they were 10 a penny back in the day. Mass produced, yet collectable. There are many bikes that were made in less numbers that aren't remotely collectable.

And I'll stick with the Desmo thanks, no matter what version of a 916/996/998 I was offered to swap with.

 

888 sp5

 

sorry did read the under 15yr bit

 

Yes you did, at some point

Between 2000 and 2015 btw - old thread

 

but these are very good reference points,especially for new members like me

 

Anybody want to buy a 1098R that’s won a national championship? Just been restored including engine and gearbox refresh?

 

That's right up @Exige 's alley.

 

No room up my alley

 

But was anyone right
