‘V464FEC’ is a pristine looking example of a 1999 Ducati 996 with just five keepers to date and less than 10,000 miles covered. The current vendor has owned ‘V464FEC’ for around 2 years and 4 months with the first three keepers accounting for over 22 years of the Ducati’s life. ‘V464FEC’ is from the first year of production of the 996 which was closely based on its 916 predecessor. ‘V464FEC’ is a UK supplied motorcycle and has spent it's whole life in the country. With such light usage – amounting to less than 400 miles a year on average – and diligent stewardship, ‘V464FEC’ presents very well indeed and represents a fine exemplar of this 100bhp plus sports legend. ‘V464FEC’ is offered complete with an advisory free MOT valid until October 2025.

The brainchild of motorcycle uber-designer, Massimo Tamburini, the 996 was the ultimate expression of the 916 range and introduced to compete primarily with Honda’s Firestorm and the Aprilia RSV Mille. The heart of the beast, of course, was that V-twin, Desmoquattro, 996 cc engine. Compared to the 916, the 996 featured larger, 98mm pistons, a stronger crankshaft and crankcase. The 916’s camshaft was retained lending the 996 a less peaky power delivery than the slightly more powerful 916 SPS model. Power is delivered to the rear wheel via a slick shifting six speed gearbox. All mechanical facets of this 996 are vendor rates as “excellent.”

‘V464FEC’ looks every inch a turn of the century Italian superbike with it's vibrant, predominantly red livery with a white tail and dark, fibre weave accents. The tubular frame, front forks and five-spoke alloy wheels are finished in anodised gold. Those fine wheels are Oz Racing items and wear quality Pirelli tyres. Other visual treats include the Termignoni carbon fibre silencers, the huge, drilled double discs and the gold Ohlins mono shock reservoir. The vendor considers the bodywork, paintwork and rider environment of ‘V464FEC’ as “excellent.”

In summary:

· A lightly used and beautifully presented example of the esteemed 996.

· Presenting in admirably original form.

· Complete with an advisory free MOT until October and so ready for the summer.
