#388 – 1999 Ducati 996 SPS

In Italy, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

A limited edition of one of the prettiest motorcycles ever made, the Ducati 996 SPS (Sport Production Special) was an uprated version that featured a modified engine and chassis. Nearly all the specifications were improved, with lighter 5-spoke wheels, Ohlins rear shocks and Showa front forks, it was designed to be the ultimate 996, and it eventually evolved to become the one year only 996R.

Engine work included titanium connecting rods, ‘SPS’ cams, a lightened crankshaft, carbon fiber fenders, a bigger generator, and of course, Termi pipes. All this was good for an additional 12 horsepower, and the modified chassis made the whole package that much sweeter.

This specific Ducati 996 SPS has just over 16,000 miles but looks to be still quite mint. It’s had a recent service and ‘overall shakedown’, and it’s ready for the next owner, as the current owner has only put 50 miles on it in the last year! Buy this clean, original example and put the miles it deserves on.
