My Class B Desmodue Race bike is for sale, based on an M600 Ducati Monster. If you want to race in the series, you can read up more here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducati_Sporting_Club_DesmoDue_Championship Alternatively it is a very fun track bike, or could be converted back to a very nice little road bike (the V5 is with the bike, and it is currently SORNed)

The bike has a very good pedigree in the series, finishing 3rd in 2007, then helping me to 7th in 2010 (my first season racing), before finishing 2nd this year. It should really have won this year, but I am somewhat impetuous and crashed from a 20second lead in the last race (but we don’t talk about that!).

It was extensively rebuilt with no expense spared (
£000's) at the beginning of 2011 by DWR (http://www.davewoodracing.com/customs/12). If you want to see how extensively, check out some pictures here:http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...1 6bca&type=1

It has won 4 races this year, helped me to 5 pole positions, and is one of only 3 Class B bikes to set a new course record this year in Class B. Some pictures of it setting the new Class B lap Record at Anglesey (my first visit to the track) can be found here: http://rage-graphics.com/gallery2/v/...glesey+_HMRC_/

The full spec is listed below, but the important thing to note is that the only differences between the bike I am selling and the one that set the Anglesey lap record are that it now has my older Black Wheels (with Brembo discs) and a plactic rather than Carbon mudguard. So you could literally take this bike as it is and turn up to the start of the Series in March, setting lap records, winning races, and maybe even winning a Championship.

Full Spec:
• Full engine rebuild including new pistons and barrels at beginning of 2011
• IRC master cylinders/levers (a little bent, but these alone are 
£200 each)
• Wilbers rear shock set for 85kg
• Wilbers linear rate fork springs, with forks set up by KAIS
• Ducati Performance igniter boxes
• One-off exhaust into underseat MHP Carbon silencer
• Bespoke oil cooler
• Scitsu rev counter
• 851 Alloy swingarm (very rare)
• Brembo calipers all round with Brembo front disks
• SES clipons and crash bungs
• New rearsets and Renthal grips just fitted.
• Lighter battery
• Damaged/repaired ZX10R seat and 1098 fairing (see attached pictures taken yesterday, they are still quite presentable)
• Selection of lihghtweight sprockets
• I have probably forgotten a ton of other things, so if you have any questions, pm me.

The bike in this spec is around 169kg and has been tested immediately (still warm) after 3 separate races with 48bhp. I can honestly say the only thing I think would do to make this a better bike is a different exhaust header set-up (something by JAC for £200 should see it back up around the 51bhp it had before the exhaust change – but I decided to give the others a chance!) and change the electric pump back to the vacuum pump. It had new pads an oil change and new valve collets last month to make sure it was good for the final 2 rounds.. It would also be worth changing the belts, but other than that it is good to go.

It is currently available to view in London (SE9) as I am working there at the moment.  I do have a trailer, so could deliver the bike at a cost of £1/mile but I will insist the bike is paid for before delivery.  It is also being advertised on Ducatisti/Ducati Sporting Club, so I may end the auction early if it is sold elsewhere.

Enjoy it, I did!

Note: the paddock stands are not included in the sale (they are not mine!)
