Casey Stoner’s Title-Winning MotoGP Bike Auctioned for Hefty Sum
One of the most memorable moments in MotoGP history is about to be relived through an exciting auction. The legendary Ducati bike that carried Casey Stoner to victory in the 2007 championship is now up for sale for £413,000.
Stoner’s GP7 is more than just a racing machine; He is a symbol of motor sports. Equipped with a powerful 799 cc, 90 degree DOHC V4 engine, this motorcycle can reach a top speed of at least 300 km/h. Furthermore, it is in perfect working order, thanks to the careful care of an experienced technician over the years.
The 2007 season was a milestone in Stoner’s career and in Ducati’s MotoGP history.
