This custom Ducati was built by a motorcycle dealer in New Zealand. The second-hand 2003 Ducati 999 is equipped with fully adjustable Nemesis race ECU, which is front-mounted with the battery case and waterproofed wiring loom, a custom exhaust system, and modified rear 17-inch rear wheel with knobby tyre.

The builders said earlier that the beach racer can reach 137mph, and they didn’t lie. The creator, Steve Haldane has hit 134mph on the beach. “The feeling of being on a foggy, wild stretch of west coast beach is always exhilarating; flying down the sand at 134mph was a rush! The big Duke was surprisingly steady as it swapped from digging trenches to flying across the top of the iron sand. Hitting grooves from previous laps was an interesting feeling, setting up a bit of a yaw which I can imagine would rapidly turn into something horrible if you got cross rutted at speed on something this fast and heavy.”
The Testastretta engine delivers more than 140hp.
The bike is still for sale at the price of $10,000 on www.trademe.co.nz.
