Here's another rare beast. from this stable of toys. A concept bike that made it to production.

When Ducati's controversial chief designer Pierre Terreblanche came up with a showbike homage to Mike "The Bike" Hailwood's 1978 Isle of Man TT-winning Ducati. he knew it would be a lightning rod in terms of reaction. "The people it's aimed at understand it. and I don't care about the ones who don't. he told the press.
The bike was a combination of old and new. Retro-looking half-fairing and 75hp air-cooled motor (with faux finned oil sump to recall the SS models of the 1970s). but equipped with monster brakes. zoomy tailsection. upside-down forks. single-sided swingarm and wide. sticky tires.
Well. enough people understood it that the MH900e – for Mike Hailwood evoluzione – was put into limited production.

Sales were undertaken in a unique way: To make sure everyone who wanted one had a fair shot at buying it. the Hailwood replica was sold on the Internet. straight from the factory. no waiting lists. no dealer markups.

Offered at the stroke of midnight on January 1. 2000. the first 1000 sold out within hours. prompting Ducati to double the production run.
Deposit down. buyers then waited a year. sometimes more. for their bikes to be built and delivered. Of the 2000 constructed. it's believed that approximately 500 were sent to America.

This MH900e has been started when collected and driven into the van collecting it and not been ridden. and indeed the tires look as new. with virtually all the casting "nubs" still in place. It is #771 of the 2000-unit production run.

It will require new batteries and oil change and fuel to commission. There are two chips to the bodywork from storage ( see photo)
