John Avelluto's 2005 999 Ducati Day Daytona Concorso winner was the best example of attention to detail possibly in the whole bunch. The more you looked the more you found to admire. Here's what the bike description card said:<br />
1 of 31 yellow 2005 999's imported in 05. This one was treated to what should have been done from the factory. All of the components that were once silver or gray are now blacked out, by methods that are factory correct. Also there are painted number boards and tri-color stripes that represent the colors of the Italian flag, birth place of this beautiful machine.Every square mm of this motorcycle has been gone over.Most of the work was carried out by yours truly am not a m/c shop owner or a high performance parts vendor/dealer, just a pizza man with a great passion for Ducati! and I feel like this one shows. This machine is ridden daily and has almost 12,000 miles on it.This beautiful machine won in the superbike category at Ducati day Daytona 07
