Description:
2000 Ducati MH900e Engine Number: Zdmv 300AA1BOO1760 Chassis Number: ZDMV904A2KO13384 The Mike Hailwood 900 Evoluzione One of the world's leading manufacturers of high-performance sport motorcycles, Ducati was founded in 1926 and is now widely recognised amongst the motorcycle fraternity for producing racing-inspired motorcycles characterised by unique engine features, innovative design, advanced engineering and overall technical excellence. With an extensive racing pedigree dating to the 1950s, Ducati has dominated the World Superbike Championship, where it has won 13 manufacturers' titles since 1990 and more single race victories than all other manufacturers combined. It's fair to say that Ducati has always managed to craft its motorcycles with passion. Pierre Terblanche's successful effort to combine memory with modern technology was the basis on which to conceive, design, and produce the MH900e, the Mike Hailwood evolution. This limited-edition collector's bike was pre-sold exclusively on the internet by Ducati in 2000 in honour of the unforgettable Mike Hailwood and his historic conquest of the world Tt title on the legendary Isle of Man circuit in 1978. The MH900e applies the exquisite running gear of a 900 Supersport, a single-sided swingarm made specifically for the bike, and the signature bodywork of Pierre Terblanche reaches back in time to capture the style of Mike Hailwood's ferocious Tt-winning Pantah. Technically, the MH900e range does not exist, the only bike that does exist is the MH900e: one version, refined and exciting, with no alternatives, either in performance, equipment or colour scheme. The exclusive character of the MH900e places it as a modern classic in a world of its own.
