Designed by Pierre Terblanche to commemorate the winning of Mike Hailwood in 1978 Isle of Man TT. Hence, the MH acronym in the MH900e model name. 900 refers to the 904cc L-twin 2-valve air-cooled engine with the unmistaken valve control, the Desmodromic, that churns out 74hp at 8,000RPM. Hitting the top speed at 221.6km/h (137.7mph), this bike one of the faster bikes at the time.
The sales of this MH900e is unique where the it is sold online directly by Ducati. This means that there are no middleman handling the transaction. It is Ducati direct to the customer. A great record to be remembered when the first batch of 1,000 unit of the MH900e is snapped online just by 31 minutes after the sales start on January 1st 2000, 12.01am.
It is more interesting that this particular bike pictured above is the one that is available in Malaysia. Possibly, this is the only one unit available here in the region. You should read from source here.
