Comments from the seller
2002 Ducati 998 – 12 months NSW rego and a full tank of fuel. Major service completed including new timing belt.
The Tamburini Masterpiece
Own a piece of motorcycling history. The 2002 Ducati 998 is the final and most refined evolution of the iconic 916 series. Designed by the legendary Massimo Tamburini, this is the bike that defined an era of Superbike dominance and remains a gold standard for Italian design.
The Details
This particular example is in exceptional condition, balancing low kilometres, and consistent maintenance. It’s ready for the twisties or a spot in a discerning collector's garage.
Year: 2002
Model: 998 (Testastretta engine)
Odometer: 15,500 km
Condition: Excellent, original fairings, and mechanically flawless.
Key Highlights
The Heart of a Champion: Features the 998cc Testastretta engine, offering smoother power delivery and significantly better reliability than its predecessors.
Recent Major Service: Peace of mind comes standard. This bike just underwent a comprehensive service, including belt replacement and fluids, ensuring it’s turn-key ready.
No Mechanical Issues: Runs exactly as a Ducati should—crisp, loud, and incredibly fast.
Timeless Aesthetic: The classic Ducati Red paint still shines, maintaining that aggressive yet elegant silhouette that looks fast even when parked.
Why the 998?
The 998 isn't just a motorcycle; it’s an investment. As the last of the "classic" Ducati superbikes before the 999 era, values are steadily climbing. It offers a raw, analog riding experience that modern bikes with their heavy electronics simply cannot replicate.
"The 998 is the bike that perfected the 916's legacy. It’s the ultimate combination of soul, sound, and speed."
