When Valentino Rossi had to switch to a street version of a Ducati 1198 at Silverstone after his spec 1198 SP conked out on him, several pundits remarked that we’d soon be seeing the bike on sale on e-Bay, instead Ducati UK has decided to auction the bike during the upcoming Silverstone GP, with sales proceeds going to MotoGP’s favourite charity, Riders for Health.
The bike, complete with licence plate, indicators and mirrors and used for customer demonstration rides was autographed by Rossi after his 30 laps on it as a thank you to Ducati UK, will go on display at the Riders for Health Day of Champions at Silverstone on Thursday June 9th and then auctioned on Saturday June 11th.
If you’re interested but cannot attend the auction, telephone and commission bids are also being accepted, just click Silverstone Auctions for further information.
