In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes, chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. There was a long tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. The 996 was the continuation of the iconic Massimo Tamburini-designed 916, sporting the same looks but with a bigger and torquier engine.
This 1999 Ducati 996 has had just 2 previous owners from new, it has clearly been looked after in their ownership before being purchased by the current owner in 2013, with just over 6, 000 or so miles on the clock. It was subject to a full service and the belts changed in 2018 and has seen little use since. The current vendor has decided to sell the 996 due to it not being used as much as he'd have wished to. The machine is in very good condition for its age and this is visually evident. It is being offered with a current V5C, service book with stamps and handbooks, receipts for parts and work carried out and two sets of keys. Some general checks may be needed due to emerging from short-term storage.
