I currently feel like the luckiest person on earth. The Mona Lisa of Ducati just fell in my lap.π
A vintage collector I know, just purchased this bike on an auction 2 days ago and he went ahead and sold it to me. Got it yesterday evening. I don't think he knew exactly what he had and the auction place for sure didn't have a clue. π―
I couldn't sleep last night!!!!!π
1992 Ducati SP4S #043, 6000km, all original except for 5-spoke mag wheels and Brembo billet racing calipers.
Looks good next to the 1993 888, don't you think?

When is the first ride planned for?
Keep us posted and looking forward to hearing if everything is as nice as it looks under the covers
Well done and thanks for sharing with us all
As a work of art the mona lisa has nothing on this beauty and I know which I would prefer to share a home with

Wow!
How much did you buy it for! Rock on baby.

Dude! They clearly had NO idea what they were selling. $9945, including buyer's premium? Wow! What did you pay the collector 'cause you got the steal of the century. Well done.

Thanks for all your comments, guys. I am really stoked to get such a rare find. I wanted one of these for about 10 years. I guess patience does pay off. The price I paid is almost not important if you can get your hands on such a rare bike but let's just say the collector made some good money off me and I still got the bike at a very good price - a win-win situation.
Being a dealer, I am not worried about getting it registered as I can run it with dealer plates.
Haven't had a chance to ride it yet. But I was at Buttonwillow race track yesterday and Doug Polen was there and did a few laps on his 888 Corsa race bike. Very cool!!!

Thats' just unfair to the rest of us poor Californians with all the EPA BS on using dealer plates
