Anyone know anythign about Ducati's?

My mother runs a major benefit auction, and they have been donated a Ducati that they know very little about and asked me to find out about it. Anyone know which model they might be talking about about:

She says its red, 1 of 250 made, worth about 20K or so.

I'm thinking some sort of limited edition 999 or something....

Any ideas?

If it's a naked Ducati, then it may be an S4 Fogarty Monster. There were 300 produced and costs around $24,000 a piece a few years ago.

Sorry. Naked means that there are no fairings covering the engine. You can see the frame and engine, not like how most other sportsbikes look like.

Maybe it was the MH900e, Mike Hailwood edition. Here's a picture of one I saw up at Alices:

If its a 999, they vary from $18,000 for a standard to $30,000 for an R model. Check the Ducati website http://www.ducati.com/od/ducatinorth...tml?family=261

I work for Ducati, however the only benefit I am aware we are doing is in Miami. Let me know the details and I will be glad to help you.

Its not being donated from Ducati directly, but from the private owner of the bike. When I get more info /a pic of the bike I will post back.

I know a thing or two, and I'm sure it's a piece, just give it to me for 5 dollars, and I swear you'll be making 4 bucks towards a nice contribution.

Actually, we're betting that no one else at the auction (this is a serious, multimillion dollar auction) will know the value either. If it doesn't go very high, I might buy it if its less than like 8K.

Ducati makes limited edition bikes every once in a while, best check the VIN on the bike and find out the exact info. This could be sought after by "collectors" and such.

They're really nice bikes, not just for power and handling but they look gorgeous with or without fairings.
