Post-Sales Update: After 23 bids on eBay, this Ducati MH900e Evoluzione sold for $20,000.
There are multiple motorcycles out there inspired by Mike Hailwood, but the Ducati MH900e Evoluzione might be the most visually extreme. Originally a sketch from the legenedary Pierre Terblanche, Ducati got plenty of positive feedback and decided to post a survey on their website to see if its passionate fans would actually buy a production version. 300 people said yes, so Ducati decided to build…2000 (half in the year 2000, and the other half in 2001). Continuing the website-based theme, Ducati offered the bikes for sale online – the first time any motorcycle manufacturer sold directly to the consumer. The first 1,000 bikes sold out in 31 minutes.
The MH900e used the engine from a 900SS (75 horsepower) but the lower gearing and fuel injection from a Monster 900, helping acceleration figures. A couple of interesting features did not make the jump from concept to production, including exhaust-integrated rear turn signals and a rearview camera/display. Owners were given a matching red paddock stand, plaque, and t-shirt, all of which incorporated the production number of their specific bike.
This specific Ducati MH900e Evoluzione (VIN: ZBM1LA4N62B000863) has just 138 miles and is #1,539 of 2,000 ever built. It comes with the factory stand, but the seller is still trying to source the other factory extras. It’s as close to new as you’re probably going to find one of these for a while (at least one that’s for sale). It’s got a new battery, fresh fuel, and is just waiting for a new rider.
