PBM put their Ducati Panigale bikes up for sale!
BSB front running team PBM are to sell their 2018 Ducati Panigale at the end of the season – is this the ultimate trackday weapon?
THE PBM Be Wiser Ducati team are looking to sell their two championship contenders at the end of this season. You could own a piece of BSB history by Christmas!
Both machines are up for sale, inclusive of two, low mileage engines to boot. The advert, shared on the PBM Facebook page, is showing an asking price for the bikes of £70,000 each for the 2018-spec machines.
The bikes are the same as those ridden by Shane ‘Shakey’ Byrne, Glenn Irwin, and Andrew Irwin last season. Sadly after a bad crash at Snetterton early in the championship, Shakey couldn’t continue and the team drafted in Andrew Irwin to ride the spare bike.
Check out the original post here:
Glenn Irwin managed seven podiums in 2018 with PBM, including on win at the first race of the Brands Hatch Showdown event. Andrew managed a couple of fourth places in what was a tricky but very worthwhile season with the PBM crew.
Shakey scored three podiums including a victory at the Brands Hatch Indy round early on before the crash at Snetterton that forced his retirement from the sport.
Any interested parties are being asked to contact the PBM team directly – and that’s seriously interested parties!
