Ducati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a pushbike with a clip-on engine, but by the 1960s had become associated with performance bikes, selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. 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. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart’s win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a long tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. The Ducati 998S Bostrom Replica was produced in 2002 and built to commemorate the exploits of Ben Bostrom in WSBK in a limited run of just 310 examples worldwide, with 155 for the UK and 155 for the US. '155' was the race number that adorned Bostrom's race bikes.

On offer is a limited edition Ducati 998S Ben Bostrom Replica, a 998S that was sold new by Pro Twins in Godstone on the 28th September 2002 to a Mr Peter Camoccio, who used it for a short time before selling it. In excellent condition and as close as you'll get to 'original, as it left the factory', it's certainly been cared for. No.70 out of just a short production run of 155, it has been on display with the vendor's other machines and is being offered at the sale with its colour-coded paddock stand, all original carbon fibre parts, toolkit, power commander and optimate trickle charger. In addition, there's the V5C, all handbooks, a numbered plaque in its box, two sets of keys and paperwork that includes some old MOT certificates. It has not been used recently, so it would benefit from some recommissioning.
