I have the chance to buy this bike but have no idea what it is besides that fact that its a ducati. Any help would be appreciated. It appears by the sticker on the front fairing that its a 996. Also, ballpark figure how much is this worth.

:::FREE BUMP FOR YOU:::

ooooo-I like! but sorry i dont know much about ducatis

 

whos selling u the bike, ask him?..........

 

Sick bike.

Maybe worth $8-9k depending on milage, aftermarket stuff and so on?

Maybe more.

 

I would figure out what model it is STAT.

 

7k

 

It is a friend of mines, coworkers bike. He wont see him again until monday so I figured Id post up here. Only thing I know about it is he wants 5g's for it.

I tried to be subtle....

 

as long as there is no real mechanical problems, i think 5k is fair. she has an ohlins in the rear.

offer 4750. then sell her to me for 5k this summer.

Some came with those stock. May be a 996s if ohlins rear and TiN forks were stock?

 

no headlight, make sure the title is clean... unless you only want to track it, then i wouldnt offer 5 for it...

 

Thanks for the input guys. I have no clue what headlights came on this year but it appears there still may behind the one on the sticker.

 

yikes man if u really dont know anything about it i wouldnt buy it. Thats a ducati 996 and its a track ONLY bike...its a v-twin, makes about 110hp..really really nice bike. 5k i believe if there's nothing wrong with it and not a ton of miles is a great price..for about 1k you could probably convert it back to street.

 

Ask him if he has the factory plastics and headlight assembly still. And any other street hardware thats missing right now.

So you dont know anything about bikes but you want a 996 track bike? I will never understand why people want to jump in the deep end on a 10 second 1/4 mile missle.

And BTW, thats not a sticker.

I have an R1, It cant be that much of a difference. Thanks for everyone that gave positive input. Is this what the bike would look like stock.

 

If you waant to track it only, yes

For street, no

The harness on that thing is probably so cut up it would cost alot of money to put back to stock, and a PITA to put all back together. I say no on this one

 

Yes the bike will be track only. Basically I just wanted an explanation on what ducati this is and how it is different the say the 996 with the 5 spoke wheels rather then the 3 on that one.

That generation Ducati is by far the easiest bike to work on ever.

Can strip the body off mine in under 10 minutes.

Oh I did not know that, I've never worked on ducatis but I figured they would be a huge pain. If its for track only Id say get it if its clean
