"Once again" says Federico Minoli, Chief Executive Officer of Ducati.com, "our motorcycles and distribution are at the cutting edge. With the MH900e, Ducati has become the first motorcycle company in the world to use e-commerce as the unique method of sale.
Now we offer you another unique bike representing a new generation of the desmo technology, exclusively on the Internet... the 996R.
Pricing of the 996R is just as innovative as the MH900e's being the same worldwide. 26,000 Euro price is the suggested Key in Hand pre-luxury tax price in Europe and the suggested Pre-tax price in the rest of the world.
With reservation of the 996R on-line, Ducati confirms its leadership role in the world of the internet.

VALUES & PURCHASING
As of March 2023, the known world-record price for a 996R was GBP£56,000 (US$68,530) for a 2-mile example. It was a proper serialised bike out of the UK. [16] Known as the "Price" 996R, it's notable as having never been assembled or dealer PDI'd.
Prior to this it had been a 7-mile example known as the "BAT" 996R. It was the first and to this day, the only 996R sold on BaT. In June 2020 it sold for US$48,825 including buyers fee. This was for a USA non-serialised bike for "non-road use" only. [17]
Most bikes in great condition ranging between 1,000 and 5,000 miles are valued in the US$50K range as of August 2023. Bikes with between 5K-10K miles in the US$40K-45K range. Once you get over 20,000 miles you are in the US$30K range. Old track and modified bikes going for even less.
A professionally done, concours quality, fully restored 996R can have an asking price in the mid US$40K range. [18]
Generally, bikes that are serialised are more valuable, as are bikes that still retain all of their original accessories as they can be near impossible to find and are very expensive. Service history is a must, especially since these are modern bikes and many are still being sold by their 1st or 2nd owners. Be sure to inspect inside the fuel tank, these are notorious for rusting very badly if not taken care of, so replacement tanks are highly sought after.
Something to always consider is the international transport and any customs duties/taxes that may be involved. Due to this bikes rarity and non-availability in some countries, these tend to trade internationally on a consistent basis. So if you are looking for your perfect bike, by no means limit your search to just your country/region or you will have little to no options.
