2002 Ducati MH900e Evoluzione - $2,500

Mileage: 350 miles

VIN: ZDM1LA4N22B001587

First shown to the public as a prototype in 1998 at the Intermot Show in Munich, Germany, the Ducati MH900e (Evoluzione) was the first motorbike to be sold exclusively on the Internet as their Millenium Edition motorcycle.  On January 1st, 2000, when the bike officially went on sale the entire first years planned production of 1000 units was snapped up online within hours.

The MH900e is a hand-built, limited edition (2,000 were ultimately made) motorcycle designed by Pierre Terblanche recalling the racing days of Mike Hailwood at the Isle of Man TT in the 1970's, and his return to again win the event in 1978.

Terblanche describes the Ducati MH900e as "neo classical" in design. This is apparent in the way the bike focuses on the more essential elements of a motorcycle, namely the engine, as design factors.

While being retro in appearance, the MH900e is thoroughly modern underneath. The computer controlled, fuel injected, Ducati Desmodue twin cylinder engine is held in place by a Chrome Moly steel trellis frame similar in spec to the Ducati 996 Superbike.

Ducati's famous MH900e Millenium bike honoring Mike Hailwood's 1978 Isle of Man TT victory.  This is number 1841 of the 2000 limited production.  Described in one review as "one of the rarest bikes on the planet".
