? for Ducati owners

[BCT748]

if you want a superbike:

01 748 Biposto 3500 miles
- Ohlins adjustable steering damper (same as those that come on the 1098S)
- CF Termignoni slip-ons
- Adjustable rear-sets (Bike is currently setup as a GP shift)
- CF chain guard on the swing arm
- CF swing arm cover
- CF rear fender
- CF fender eliminator (turn signals are mounted inside the tail -visible through vents).
- CF intake covers
- CF radiator cover (behind the front wheel)
- Double bubble wind screen
- Adjustable link

$5800

That price isn't bad because of the mods on it but for a not too much more you can get a bone stock xx9 bike with under 10,000 miles on it that will be less problematic. Unless they were dead set on a xx6 bike there are better deals out there.

yeah no doubt, im just saying the "new" prices for the SS that were brought up aren't worth it in my opinion

The only one that he posted that would be worth the money would be the 996 but it was already titled so there is no 2 year warranty from Ducati. If it was a 998 for that money with 0 miles it might be worth it even without the warranty.

So whats a 2002 998 with 6k on it worth?

Clean with service history, just north of $10K. The whole 0 mile thing is a little scary to me. 0 miles on a bike that old means you might as well tear it down and replace every seal, line and hose on the bike.

SWEET! I got a DEAL.

Too bad you didn't live in Alaska. I have no interest in the liter bikes but even I would pony up the dough for this if I could.

2004 998s FE with 7,000 miles for $13,000

[bryco13]

Well, I appreciate all the input, but I tend to agree with you all that I'd rather buy a bike with some mileage put on it thats been maintained well, than a brand new bike thats been sitting in a crate for 10 years. So now my decision is going to be even harder to make, but I still have a thing for big bikes with big v twins and big plastics.

2004 998s FE with 7,000 miles for $13,000

Wasn't 2002 the last year they were made?

[BCT748]

Nope, Don't believe everything Wiki says. The last year you could buy a brand new 998 made in the same year was 2004. FE stands for Final Edition and less than 1,000 were shipped out to the entire world. Here are the totals for the FE straight from Ducati:

998 Final Edition biposto Europe red 2004 - 277
998 Final Edition biposto Europe black 2004 - 1
998 Final Edition biposto UK red 2004 - 60
998 Final Edition biposto France red 2004 - 46
998 Final Edition biposto Australia red 2004 - 35
998 Final Edition monoposto Australia red 2004 - 20
998 Final Edition monoposto California red 2004 - 112
998 Final Edition monoposto Canada red 2004 - 8
998 Final Edition monoposto Europe red 2004 - 248
998 Final Edition monoposto UK red 2004 - 57
998 Final Edition monoposto France red 2004 - 6
998 Final Edition monoposto Japan red 2004 - 111

What I really want to know is what the story was behind the one black FE they made and how much that would be worth.

I have heard that there are still a couple of 04 998FE's that can be bought new through the factory.

If you have a shop you work with ask them to contact the sales rep. This was at the end of last year, not sure how accurate it may/may not be.

Ask alex.

I wouldn't doubt it, a year or two ago i was talking to the guy who drives the Ducati test drive truck and i noticed he had a really clean 916 in the truck to. I asked him about it and he said he had just picked it up, it had gotten "Lost" during shipping and ended up sitting in a warehouse for several years until he had just picked it up.

[Kurlon]

While you could buy 998FEs in 04, I don't believe they were made in 04. Where's my Duc books...

Nope, you're right, made into 04... 'cording to Ian Falloon:

Standard ver for 2003
998FE and Matrix editions in 2004 'on request'

I don't have any production run numbers after the 02's though.
