I am the original owner of this amazing DUCATI SUPERBIKE and it remains in LIKE NEW condition. In fact, the motorcycle has never been washed with water. Instead, it gets a liquid wax wipe down after each and every ride. The bike is destined to be a nice collector bike due to it being the first production year for the 848. This happens to be the same year that MotoGP switched to 800cc. This also happens to be the first and only time Ducati won the MotoGP World Championship! That World Champion was Casey Stoner and the man himself has AUTOGRAPHED this awesome machine! If you know much about Casey he is not very outgoing and does not autograph much of anything, so this is a VERY rare item indeed. There are three major upgrade parts on this bike
