The world's only full carbon Ducati 999S is being offered for sale in Switzerland via global luxury marketplace JamesList for €120,000, or about $160,000. The custom-made Ducati has had its engine tuned up to 1037 ccm by one of the most famous specialists in Germany, resulting in an engine output of 170 hp. The extraordinary low weight of just 143 kg achieved with a maximum use of carbon fiber and titanium means the one-off motorcycle can do 0-60 mph in less than 3 seconds. The bike was handbuilt upon a full carbon frame from Carbotech along with other special carbon and titanium parts. The carbon was honed and polished part by part and then buffed to a high gloss with multiple lacquering. The price makes it one of the world's most expensive motorbikes as well.
