In Jul/1991, Ducati factory
brought 888 Corse Endurance machines to Japan in order
to entry "Suzuka 8hour endurance"
Sponsered by "Sagawa Kyubin" which famous
Japanese transport company.
1990's in Japan, economy of Japan was very strong.
So, sponsor(Sagawa Kyubin) could pay enough money
to bring Ducati super star such as
Marco Lucchinelli,Franco Farne,Giuliano Pedretti,Raymond
Roche,Giancarlo Fallapa,
Davide Tardozzi,Stephane Mertens.
Thoese super line up was the first and the last time
for motorcycle racing in Japan.
"Sagawa Kyubin" paid over JPY 200,000,000
(TWO HUNDRED MILLION) for this race.
Bike and it's spare parts were all special one and
also build/made as experimental for Bol d'Or endurance
for the next year.
Race result was DNF but lapped in 5th temporarily.
Ducati left 2 bikes after the race in order to display
it at "Sagawa Kyubin" headquarter.
We bought the bike from "Sagawa Kyubin"
and did full preparations.
Ducati brought 9 engines, 888cc and 926cc engine at
that time.
But, final round was 888cc.
"Race inspection pass" sticker is still
remaining at the frame.
Bodyworks, Frame, Wheels are original paint.
Engine is also fully original internals and had only
3 test lap after overhauled.
"Quick wheel change" were experimental items.
So, Ducati brought it back after the race and fitted
it to Bol d'Or endurance machine in 1992.
Dry weight of the bike is approx 150kg and amazingly
light weight and runs really strong at 888cc engine.
This bike was featured by many Japanese motorcycle
magazines and we have them all.
Painted in red one is displayed at Ducati museum as
Bol d'Or endurance and very close spec as mine.
Raw alloy surface crankcase was only for works bike
at that time.
We also have spare crankcase in raw alloy surface
which for NCR (For Roche bike)
Crankcase bearings are both "Roller"
Double quick filler system is made by magnesium (Impossible
to obtain).
An early dry carbon items were made in Yugoslavia
at that time.
Special endurance front forks were Ohlins that easy
to hung the racing stands.
"Spaghetti" exhaust pipe are fitted.
We have many tipes of it's "Rom chips" left
by Ducati works after race.
Now it's controlled by "± 0 rom".
Press document of "Sagawa Kyubin Ducati racing"
, Team hat, Autograph of Lucchinelli and Fallapa are

As in our web site, the bike is stocked as perfect
dry and ready to race condition.
Also coming 888 racing spares with bike (Barrel,Piston,Harness,Valves...etc...)
