350 with plaques
150 without

The 150 bikes without plaques were originally reserved for race teams. These 150 bikes had very minor engine differences (something about cylinder head cooling iirc), and as a result were the only true homolagtion bikes for WSB in 2001.

But then, you'd need to be a bit of an anorak to know this

Ian_km - buy it mate, you'll have one of the rarest Ducati's in Britain!

Cheers!

Scott

I'm sure if you contact Ducati Uk or indeed the factory they could verify the validity by the engine and frame numbers.

I bought a non plaqued one. Given the earlier discussion, I have asked Ducati, no reply as yet.
I was told that the first 500 had plaques and then a further 150 were made later because of demand. The one I purchased was first registered in September 01.
Those sold on the net went in March.
The engine number on mine finishes in 507, so perhaps some truth in it. To be honest quite happy there is no plaque and it is definitely and without doubt an R.
Looking at the manual on Duc's website, number 1-150 have a different manual that 151 and above. So perhaps the 150 for racing is correct and those that were not sold to race were sold later in 2001
