I saw this bike on eBay last week and didn’t share it because I figured it wouldn’t meet reserve, but I didn’t realize how far off I was. Now it’s back up on eBay and the seller has an asking price – $58,000 or best offer. Is it worth it? You tell me.
Per the seller, this custom Ducati is called “You Wish”, and it took Alex Ortner 1,700 hours to build. There’s obviously a long list of upgrades, but the main things to know are that it weighs 342 pounds wet (without gas), the engine makes 155 horsepower and “just under” 100 ft-lbs of torque, and it’s absolutely adorned in carbon fiber, magnesium, and titanium parts.
The seller adds that the engine was rebuilt 100 miles ago and that he’s owned the bike for 12 years. He had a “certified independent appraisal done by Mark Mederski of Mederski Vintage Motorcycle Services for $205,000,” but I think most motorcycle appraisals are worthless anyway.
