2002 998S Bayliss Race Replica

2002 Ducati 998S Bayliss SOLD

By the end of 2001 the beautiful Ducati 916 had evolved into the 996, but the shape had been around for 6 years. Its design was so advanced it was proving difficult to improve on the aesthetics of Massimo Tamburini’s now legendry design. As they say, “if it aint broke”, so 2002 saw entry of the 998, basically unchanged from 1994 yet the 998 carried on duty recording outstanding sales while allowing Troy Bayliss to carry-on winning the diminutive factory both Rider’s and Manufacturer’s laurels in the hugely popular World Superbike Championship.

Having won the 2001 World Championship on the 996R, basically identical to the 998, Ducati announced a special limited run of 400 Troy Bayliss 998S Race Replica’s. The bikes were sold via internet only and sold out in hours. The TB 998S received the same sandcast deep-sump 998 engine used in the factor race bikes, and produced a massive 136HP in street trim, and could produce circa 155HP with minor upgrades and ECU changes.

This example is built number 13 and is Australian delivered. Presented in beautiful original condition and travelled only 11,600k’s, this bike is located in NSW and will undergo full service, including belts, fluids and valve clearances before delivery.
