For sale: 2006 Ducati Superbike 999R Xerox

The 999R Xerox is a special series motorcycle with a wide range of features that distinguish it from the standard 999R model, such as Öhlins forks with black sleeves, anodized black foot pegs and top yoke, Öhlins 'Racing' rear suspension with double damping adjuster in compression, aluminum body, counter-spring and spring pre-load setting. The motorcycle is also fitted with radial-mounted front brake calipers with the red Brembo Racing logo, is decorated with "Xerox Replica" graphics and comes with a racing kit and extra adhesives.

The 150 horsepower at 9,750 rpm produced from the famously smooth Borgo Panigale twin-cylinder engine is the most power ever to appear in the legendary Ducati trellis frame. The large bore (104 millimeter) enables high revs as well as the use of larger-diameter valves to let the engine breathe freely. The main differences with respect to the other 999 models is found in the top end of the powerhouse where more extreme cam-timing guarantees top-notch performance, while the oversized titanium valves with reduced diameter stems work on bronze seats to ensure greater reliability.

But that is not all. The 999R also has titanium valve collets, 12-hole racing injectors, magnesium head covers, carbon covers for the timing belts with a built-in ventilation system and carbon heat shield for the silencer. Everything has been designed as if this were an actual racing bike to offer exceptionally low weight and high performance without compromising reliability.

The feathery overall weight of the 999R has been achieved by the use of several parts in magnesium, including the front headlight support and rear view mirror supports. The sculpted carbon fiber fairing has been shaped as a result of strict aerodynamic tests, carried out by applying the experience gained from hundreds of races all over the world. The tall Plexiglas nose fairing, identical to that used in competition, provides protection even at top speed. The seat features a high grip covering that enhances rider feel of the bike for improved control.

Every single 999R is "signed" with a numbered silver plate on the top yoke, as well as a badge of authenticity supplied with the bike, both adding an extra touch of exclusivity to one of the most prestigious motorcycles currently available in the world. Only 300 of these were made; this is number 0056.

With the arrival of the 2005 model, the differences between the 999R and Ducati's competition bikes have almost disappeared.

Project JNR

A customer recently purchased this Challenge car from another customer, and has commissioned us to perform extensive work. Among the tasks are a major service, complete interior reupholster, and all new paint (using new colors). Since this isn't just technical, I didn't want to confine it to the Technical Q&A forum. As things progress, we'll post additional updates.

For now, the beginning:

For sale: 1990 Ferrari 348 ts

This amazingly pristine example of a Targa-topped 348 comes to us after two obsessively meticulous owners. Liveried in Glasurit's Rosso Corsa FER 300/9, the body is a godly display of incident-free perfection.

The interior, coutured in supple tan leather and tan carpets, features tan mats with black prancing horses. The overall condition of this car belies the odometer's 17,000+ miles; it looks like it was just delivered yesterday.

This 348 is complete in every way and is lacking just one thing: a new owner to passionately continue its flawless legacy. You won't find a nicer example anywhere, at any price. This car is yours for the taking - just come by and take 'er for a test drive.
