Its not a Ferrari, but it is a Ferrari on 2 wheels.... a new member to the family. Please welcome this beatuful and legendary 1998 Ducati 748 superbike. It only has 7075 miles... a true masterpeice. All it needs is a prancing horse like they used to have back in the day.

One of the best motorcycle designs in history. This and the original 916 are awesome bikes. I wanted one in the worst way years back, but couldn't afford one. So I stuck with the Japanese bikes like the GSX-R 750, R1's and Hayabusa.

Congrats on your purchase!

Based on the thread title, I was expecting to see a Ferrari at a drag strip doing a major launch.

Nice 748, do you know if the rockers have been replaced? These bikes had some serious issues with the chrome plating flaking off the rocker arms causing some serious problems. Change your oil now and check for particles in the screen.

Nice looking bike. My 2nd bike was a 99 996s. Have owned only Ducati bikes ever since. Out of all the ducati bikes ive owned I miss the 996 the most. The styling is just awesome on those bikes. Be safe.
