2007 saw Casey Stoner win the MotoGP Championship for the Marlboro Ducati factory team
He won the Riders Championship ahead of Dani Pedrosa and Valentino Rossi, with Ducati taking the constructor's title ahead of Honda and Yamaha
During the 2007 season, Ducati took five pole positions and 11 victories, with Stoner taking ten and Capirossi just one
The GP7 bike featured a 799cc, 90-degree V4, desmodromic DOHC engine, with 4 valves per cylinder producing 220bhp-plus with Magneti Marelli electronic injection and ignition with EVO TCF throttle control
Weighing 148kg and capable of speeds in excess of 190mph
Featuring a tubular steel, trellis-style frame with a pressed aluminium swing arm with Ohlins front and rear fully adjustable suspension
Fitted with powerful Brembo four-piston calipers with 305mm carbon discs on the front and a Brembo single two-piston caliper on the rear with 220mm steel disc
Currently fitted with 17" rims but complete with its original 16. 5" wheels
The frame designation is D16GP7 CS1 and was built for the 2007 season
All the factory race bikes were fitted with tamper-proof metal stickers on the frame showing designation numbers
This original frame was used in the 2007 season and still has the Spanish MotoGP scrutineering sticker attached
Fitted with carbon fibre front discs for display purposes only
The early MotoGP bikes can be maintained and run without the need for factory support so can be used for track use and classic parades
This example has been maintained over the last few years by an experienced technician and is presented in running order
Believed to be one of only a few examples built by Ducati for the 2007 season
Part of a private Collection for many years until being purchased by our vendor in 2020, recommissioned and run up until recently
An incredible opportunity to own a piece of Ducati and MotoGP history
