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 vee-twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smarts’ win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a long tradition of race-winning vee-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. The 996 was the continuation of the iconic Massimo Tamburini designed 916 sporting the same looks but with a bigger and torquier engine.

This 996 has been part of a large and fascinating collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas he's decided to downsize his collection. One of the jewels of the collection, the 996 is still one of the best-looking bikes ever designed and is presented in standard and original condition including the genuine 'ZDM B14 stamped end cans. Last run in 2018 it will need some recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a few old MOTs, original owner's and service books and a current V5C.
