If you wanna stand out at your next BEARS meet, and draw a crowd while you pull this out of your old beat up Hi-ace race van:

BIG cheque book a must.

Spare parts (for when it blows up) will be hard to come by via trademe i'd guess.

But you can always grab a spare/wet bike, with this later model one: http://www.rmauctions.com/FeatureCars.cfm?SaleCode=MC12&CarID=r627&fc=0 and see if you like it better than VR did.

Seriously tho, to have this in your collection would nearly be on par in exlusivity as an unused, still Crated V1000 Britten

Oh to be filthy rich.....

I was pretty keen until I read the fine print and found out the buyer has to pay a 17% "buyers premium" + VAT on top of the sale price - What a rip off I'm not gonna bid !

Ducati must be pretty hard up for cash.

Imagine the shame if you failed to win the race.

I guess Ducati need to claw back some of the money they poured into this thing

Still, if I had outrageous amounts of money lying around I'd buy it, ride it a couple of times at the track then stick it in my bike museum.

only done a little over 4000K's, I guess that's just the chassis/frame, probably engine change every round.

Check it out,

They probably went cheaper in the auction than what I'd expected them too: http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news--racing-news/stoners-gp-ducati-fetches-more-than-rossis/20642.html

Defn a cool investment, and conversation piece.

Eric, get a loan, disconnect two cylinders and you would still have a 120hp twin for F3 :-) ?

Yeah, ain't that the truth.

Into twins that are red these days. But, only the very old variety... :)
