Brought home an Italian Twin
I couldn't help myself....a 2000 Ducati 996 came home with me tonight!

53xx miles
Termignoni carbon fiber exhaust
Ferraci chip
biposto model converted to monoposto before ever leaving the dealer

damn she's purdy

previous owner (original owner) was extremely great about maintenance and storage....bike has never seen rain (and I'm sure I'll keep it that way)

A pair of 2000 996's = Twin Sons of Different Mothers.

You lucky bastard.

That's where the different mothers come in. Your new Duc would be the equivalent of what in the surfing world is called a "wall hanger", almost too pretty to ride.

"Twin Sons of Different Mothers" was an album by Dan Fogelberg and Tim Weisberg.

Is that the one I saw on the KC craigslist a couple days ago? If so, the pic on there didn't do it justice. She's gorgeous!

WTF! What is up with the P.O. who obviously had more money than he knew what to do with?!? Before I found my superhawk I was looking at Ducs and found several 5+ years old with less than 5k all pristine.
Good luck on yours, She's a beauty!

Just something about the 996 sucks me in. If you don't mind me asking; what did you pick it up for? ($)

Beautiful classic bike. Good thing it doesn't belong to me cuz I would just run it into the ground. In ten years it would have been used up, the left over scraps parted out and become a fading passionate memory.

What a great score! Shortly after I bought my Superhawk I realized Ducati had one too. Short read is the fairing is full - little more forward cone but a Superhawk by any other name. Great machine, great body work, and a powerhouse vtwin. Anybody that writes to a Superhawk forum and wants Nava fairings - needs to buy a Ducati. Congrats on the snare.

You are missing the point... It's a bike... If I owned it, it would get flogged like any other bike... The guys in Bologna intended it that way...

Nice clean example of pure sex on wheels. Don't forget your belt maintenance.
