Nobody can accuse Ducati of being mean-spirited, or of not finding every opportunity to make a buck (and, no, those two characteristics are not mutually-exclusive). Despite the fact that their star recruit, Casey Stoner, is leaving at the end of the season to go back to Honda, Ducati are producing a Casey Stoner Replica 1198S in honour of his time with the factory.
The very Australian colour scheme is a reminder of the special livery that Casey used at PI last year.
Now this isn’t strictly a factory effort, the job apparently being farmed out to Ducati Metz, a French dealership. But it has been done with factory blessing it seems and will be backed by the usual Ducati warranty.
You want one? It can be yours for 24900 Euros (that’s $A35571)
