This just in from Ducati North America:

DUCATI ANNOUNCES SPECIAL PRODUCTION "FOR RACING ONLY" SS1000 MOTORCYCLE

Race track only motorcycle production limited to 30 units

Cupertino, CA - February 3, 2006 - In conjunction with the release of the 2006 racing contingency program, Ducati North America announces a limited production SS1000 that is intended to be used exclusively for racing and track day events. This motorcycle is stripped of all the street essentials and is priced accordingly, making it the ultimate platform for racers and track day riders alike. By design, it is intended to encourage track day participation and club racing. These motorcycles are ready for immediate delivery to dealers on a special order basis.

"Racing and track riding is very important to Ducati. The Supersport and DS1000 engine is a recognized as a great platform for racing and I want to encourage and support riders and dealers in making the dream a reality. This is a great way for riders of all skill levels to get involved at a very reasonable cost," said Michael Lock, CEO of Ducati North America.

Pricing: MSRP: $7,999

Ordering: Unlike the Ducati racer discount program, a racing license is not required to purchase this motorcycle. Please visit your local dealer immediately to order these motorcycles, as supplies are very limited and expected to sell out quickly.

Thanks for the offer but I guess the bike+shipping+inport taxes will equal to more than buying an SS default cersion over here.

For that kind of money (around 7K euros) I'd get one with my eyes closed. If only someone is listening in Ducati Europe...
