This Ducati is not just an 998S – it is a piece of Ducati racing history. The story behind it The early 2000s were a very special time for Ducati. The legendary 916/996 series was evolved with the 998 and received the technically advanced Testastretta V2 engine. At the same time, Ducati celebrated major successes in the Superbike World Championship. At the center of this era stood a name: Troy Bayliss. The Australian won the Superbike World Championship on a Ducati in 2001 and became one of the defining figures of Ducati racing history. Ducati took this success as an occasion to bring a very special homage to the street: the 998S Troy Bayliss Replica. (Ducati⁠) Only 400 units of this special edition were produced, each vehicle with its own number on the numbered plaque. Thus the Bayliss 998S belongs to the exceptionally rare and sought-after special models of the 998 family.
