I'm sorry to tell you, but from 916 the one that changed the world of motorbikes, 996/998 the dream....but what gave it the character was the sound, the music, the balance, and the goosebumps that gave and again from a Ducati. From an Italian who had recognized motorbikes only by their sound since he was 5 years old. The only way to make me dizzy and search with my eyes were and are the Ducatis.
Nah. I’ll take a 999 over a 916-998 any day. They haven’t aged as well as the 999. Own a rather special 999R with a full titanium akra RS system. It sounds, looks and handles amazing
Cool back story thank you for sharing; so the 999 was panned by fans of the 916-998 even though the 999 was better in every performance metric. Is that repeating now with the new V4 vs '24< V4s?
I've got the 749mono xerox.
All the DP extra parts and carbon all over it
Had it for many years
Been sat on display in my house for the past 7yrs
Love my parts unlimited 999S
My ultimate dream bike. The 999 is what opened the world of motorcycling to me. Has its own beautiful look that ruffled a lot of feathers.
This was the bike that brought me into the Ducati family. Unfortunately I had to let her go during the Covid crisis, but someday I'll get another one.
I love 999s
A man after my own heart “torque and twins”

That Fila doesn’t have the stock swingarm. That’s a Febur.
Same thing i said, not stock

The 999R fila was a 204.5 model not 2005. Only 50 were sold in the USA
