The upcoming Iconic Motorcycle Sale during the 2025 NEC Classic Motor Show is auctioned a very special machine: the 2019 Ducati GP19 with which Andrea Dovizioso became vice-world champion in the Motogp that year. It is estimated that the bicycle must yield between £ 500,000 and £ 700,000.
If it is your dream, but do not yet have enough liquid means, you have just over 2 months to gather the required money. The GP19 will be auctioned on Friday, November 7 at exactly 11:00 am (that’s 12:00 hrs Dutch time) during the Iconic Motorcycle Sale of the NEC Classic Motor Show 2025.
The GP19 has been at the basis of the current generation of MotoGP machines. After all, it is the very first MotoGP Racer that is equipped with a Ride Height Device, which was only used before the start, but gradually also used during acceleration. It was the start of a completely new development in the MotoGP, where electronics have increasingly prevailed and the difference is no longer made by the drivers, but by the engineers.
The GP19 offered to auction, according to registration good for a top power of “more than” 250 hp and a top speed of against 350 km/h, has been the number #1 machine from Andrea Dovizioso. That season, the Desmosisedics was provided with a striking Mission Winnow logo from partner Phillip Morris.
De GP19 wordt aangedreven door een 1.000cc V4 met seamless versnellingsbak, gemonteerd in een aluminium Evo twin-spar frame, met een 48 mm Öhlins upside down voorvork en Öhlins achtershock met Ride Height Device, dubbele Brembo 340 mm carbon schijven met 4-zuiger remklauwen voor en een enkele stalen schijf met 2-piston caliper behind.
The machine comes directly from the Ducati Corse Factory in Bologna, and comes complete with Certificate of Authenticity, signed by Paolo Ciabatti, Sporting Director of Ducati Corse. Presented in ‘completely original’ and in working condition, complete with the original factory electronics and factory starter.
The auction house expects the GP19 to yield between £ 500,000 and £ 700,000. However, you are not yet with that. In addition to that amount, a copper Premium of 15% plus 18% VAT may be picked up. Based on £ 700.00 you will arrive at £ 949,900. With the current rate of the pound, that is € 1,099,638.44. But then you have an exclusive toy for the circuit.
