899 Track Bike

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

The guys finally got some production ramped up on the DesmoVeloce racing parts that were developed for the TPL Racing AMA 1199R, as also seen on my 899 project bike!

Just arrived today are the rear ride height adjustment rods! These are very high quality pieces with maintenance-free sealed teflon heim joints, so no greasing is required. You just hold this in your hand and go "Yeah, this is some good stuff!". Get 'em here:

Jarel, Please tell more about these. How much stuff/weight can come off with these?

I will let you know shortly, I'm going to be putting them on my 899 in the next week! Hopefully will get rid of the backfiring I'm getting when off-throttle corner entry.

I noticed a little bit of that yesterday, typically after a high-RPM backshift under braking, but usually before I've tipped it in.
 
Ok race fans, hold onto your seats!

THIS BIKE IS NOW FOR SALE!

I have a new project that we'll be working on over the winter with another 899, and that will be my track bike for next year, so this one can go to a new home. The new project is going to be another 2014 899 with an engine build and full Magnetti-Marelli world superbike racing wire harness and electronics, so it doesn't make sense to start that with a bike that's already built. Obviously if you've followed this thread, this bike is pretty well set up with about everyting that can be done to an 899 without cracking the engine cases open. This will be a BARGAIN for someone who wants an ultimate 899 track bike, but it's still an expensive bike, so won't be for just anyone.

To head off some questions beforehand that do not need to be asked:
1) No, I will not sell any parts off of this bike, the entire bike is for sale as a whole. If someone buys the bike, and doesn't want some of the parts that are on it, then at that point those parts will be for sale, but the bike has to be sold first before that will be an option.
2) No, I don't have any of the street parts left, the bike will be delivered in track trim as it sits.
3) The bike has a clean street title from Ducati Omaha, but the bike is NOT in street-legal trim. I would highly recommend not even thinking of turning this back into a street bike, and if you do think about it, please don't ask for any assitance or advice on how to do it. This was built as a track bike from the start and has never been on the street.
4) The bike has no crash damage, has never been down, fallen over in the pits or anything of that sort.
5) You can have the painted/stickered bodywork that is on it, or I'll put a brand new set of unpainted bodywork on it if you'd rather, either way, same cost.
6) It is currently set up for 180-210 lbs. rider in gear, if you are outside that range I will swap in the appropriate fork and shock springs for you at no cost.

I went through and added up all of the parts on it, to replicate this with a new 899 and everything that is on it would be slightly north of $38,000.

I will sell this for $26,000 as it sits including everything, even the AiM Evo4 data logger and SmartyCam HD camera system that is installed on it so you can make the same kind of track videos that I've been making. I added up what the bike is worth in pieces if I were to tear it down, and it's about $28,000 even at used parts prices, so I've priced it to sell without having to do the labor to tear it down. So don't ask if I'll sell it for less, the answer is no, it's priced to sell. You can have everything that is on it. If you don't want all of it, then we can discuss what can be removed feasibly, but I'm only willing to remove a few of the simple things like the logger/camera if you don't want them, I will not remove larger items such as the carbon wheels, so please don't ask. Bottom line is that I've priced to so it can go as a whole and be a BARGAIN for the right buyer who wants the whole enchilada. I can assist with shipping anywhere, or you can come here and pick it up, up to you.

PM or call me at Ducati Omaha if you are seriously interested, 402-408-4400.

Thanks Jeff! :)

P.S. - It has 1250 miles on it now, with 4 oil/filter changes and it will have another before it's delivered to the new owner. If it's sold before this Sunday I won't ride it at our last track day, but if not I'll ride it and it will have a few more miles on it.
 
IIRC he was planning on putting that in the store - quite delicate installation though...

reminds me, i need to work on my quick turn throttle...

Yes... Please do... I'm feeling like a teenager waiting for a bra to come off over here waiting for this. :)

Ok, some info to thow in here.

i took it apart and checked what needs to be done to accomplish this.

fact is, the throttle is geared and transmits the rotation to a small gear, that is connected to the rotational hall sensor.

limiting the stroke is no issue, but what is required is a larger ratio of the large to small gear.

unfortunately, my 3D printer is currently getting services, but i have other ideas to get this done.

i will do some on the weekend.

in the tuneboy software i can read the throttle position for clear resets to zero and max.
 
Looks great J! Thanks for the info. Makes me wonder about going with an 899 track bike. Will it be able to race in the 600cc class or what class does it fall in?

Hmmmmm... I'm running the RapidBike EVO Module. I wonder if it can do the same thing. I just want this to be a possibility without having to worry about long term reliability or trying to get someone to reset pins and flash ECU and such :)

No, the 899 doesn't fit in most Middleweight classes, it's considered Heavyweight in CCS so races against Gixxer 750's and similar. Really, it's overkill for a Middleweight, which is why Ducati calls it a "super-Mid". But it makes a great track bike, it's a ton of fun to ride.
