The Ducati 998R was a limited edition model with only 700 being made to satisfy the homologation requirements to allow it to be raced in the World Superbike Championship. The 998R and non-US 998S models had different crankcases with a deep oil sump. The standard 998 had crankcases which were very similar to the previous Desmoquattro. The non-US 998S as well as the 998R had revised cam profiles which provided more power than the standard 998.
This 2002 Ducati 998S was purchased by the current vendor in 2020 as a restoration project but then decided to do a full rebuild, and most of the work was carried out by Louigi Moto in Bristol. What needed to be done was done, the engine and gearbox were stripped and rebuilt to Ducati's specifications, and the vendor knows the owner Rich Llewellin very well, so extra details were done. It benefits from Ohlins forks rear shocks, Marchini Mas wheels, and Termi exhaust. The machine will need to be run-in by its new owner. Rich Llewellin from Louigi Moto can back up the work carried out. It comes complete with a current V5C.
