Well, I didn't think I'd see this day and that I'd found my "forever bike", but due to some changes in future job and high risk activities like motorcycle riding jeopardizing that future job, its time to put the bike up for sale and hang up the suit for the time being. Basic Details: 2008 Ducati 1098 Clean Title, in hand, no liens. 11,297 miles on chassis 6,297 miles on engine 3rd owner Located in Northern MS. Willing to meet buyer up to 2 hours away (Jackson, MS; Birmingham, AL; Tuscaloosa, AL; Memphis, TN) with deposit in hand. Purchased in 2014 with 8,400 miles on the bike. Build/Upgrade Details: Engine built by original owner via Indy Ducati with Pistals high comp pistons, Carillo Rods, and crankshaft balanced by Fox Performance. Engine is blueprinted and cams degreed to proper factor spec Full Termi exhaust with Ducati race ECU Power commander w/ quickshifter Ohlins TTX Rear shock, 25mm Front Cartridges, and steering damper Duc Shop Rear link Attack adjustable triple tree Ducati performance slipper Brembo HP rotors Vesrah SRJH Front Pads, 1 track day Woodcraft rearsets with GP shift Woodcraft clipons CRG folding clutch/brake levers Speedy moto replacement frame tabs, welded in by 1st owner Under body frame sliders Armour Bodies bodywork w/ foglight hole to be "street legal". Fresh paint. Entire bike has been gone through and safety wired. Carbon tank sliders Starlane GPS lap timer (integrates with OEM dash) Maintenance Details: Belts (OEM) done in August 2016 at 10,500 miles Oil, filter and sump filter cleaned at 11,000 miles New tires (Dunlop Q3) with 1 trackday at barber and a handful of street miles. Chain (525), front sprocket and rear sprocket replaced at 11,000 miles. Rear sprocket was upgraded to a quick change unit. Coolant flushed and replaced with engine ice at 10,500 miles. Extras: A box full of parts including mirrors, extra seat, windscreen, pitbull trailer pin, random bolts etc. Will include a set of Dunlop Q3's that have approximately 1,500 street miles on them Front and rear pitbull stands The bad: I highsided at Barber at approximately 100mph. The bike landed on it's right side, and fortunately did not tumble and I was able to get to the bike within approximately 20 seconds of the bike sitting on it's side. No damage to the frame, forks, or any critical components. Video can be seen here so you can see how short it runs on its side, as well as how bad the crash was: Total damage: Broken fairing stay (replaced with ebay cast metal in black) Broken peg (replaced) Ground off the brake bleed nipple on front master cylinder (replaced) Rash on the handlebar (2 replacement bars will be included in the sale) Rash on the brake lever (no damage to functional components) Frame slider is ground down (could be replaced, not visible as bodywork sits over it, visible in pictures below) Rear wheel has approximately a 16" scuff along the edge from going off the edge of the tire during the highside (pictured below) Rear brake lever is scuffed but still functional Clutch basket cover slider did it's job and was replaced. The bike was lowsided twice before by the original owner, causing the original stock motor to starve of oil and trash bottom end (hence the rebuild/blueprint/upgraded pistons). These two original lowsides caused the footpeg tabs to bend, which were replaced with welded ones by the original owner. It was painted immediately after, and you honestly can't tell unless you look carefully. I think this about covers the details. I'm trying to be as honest as possible with all the details, so if there's something that is concerning you, please let me know.

Beautiful bike! I’d love to have it. You sure you don’t want a very well sorted bmw s1k lol!! Glws bump
I wish! I've always wanted a S1k, but I'm stepping away from riding for now due to a new job that isn't compatible with riding anymore. Maybe in a few years!
