Ducati Superbike description

After the great success of the Tamburini designed 916/996/998 series, a new version of the now famous Desmodromic 4-valve Ducati “L-twin” superbike was introduced in 2003. Designed by Pierre Terblanche, the new 999 Testastretta model was instantly controversial. No one doubted that this was an extremely high performance motorcycle basically oriented towards the racetrack, but the styling was radical. Some critics hated the new missile-like styling, others loved it, but the fact remains that Terblanche had created ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL AND FINEST-HANDLING SUPERBIKES. The engine had an incredibly flat torque curve, with power all over the rev range. The chassis was firmly in Ducati trellis-frame tradition, which makes for a very light and rigid structure, yet with enough “give” that road conditions are instantly communicated to the rider. From the very first the 999 was successful in the World Superbike Championship, winning the series in 2003, 2004 and 2006. The 999 R model commemorates that success and thus is essentially A STREET LEGAL RACE REPLICA. With 150hp at 9750rpm, one could go from zero to 60mph in only 3 seconds, with over 170mph possible. This 2003 Ducati 999 R - limited edition # 0185 - has less than 5000 road miles, and is essentially A NEW MOTORCYCLE. Ready to ride and/or show. Its maintenance schedule is current. Installed is a 57mm Termignoni carbon exhaust and various factory accessory carbon pieces, and a slipper clutch; it does come complete with the original exhaust, and with all original tools and accessories. Terblanche’s 999 R is out of the closet, it is now happily appreciated for its bold approach. And its huge success on the race track.

Max points haul for Morris at Assen

Tue, 17 May 2011

Leon Morris (Buildbase/JHP Ducati) took both wins at Round Two of the Rapid Solicitors Ducati 848 Challenge rounding out a very challenging weekend for all the rider and teams at Assen. The changeable weather conditions made for last-minute tyre decisions and tricky racing conditions as the rain came in heavy bursts throughout the weekend, leaving a number of riders out on track on the wrong tyres. Qualifying on Saturday was typical, as the weather rendered two of the three qualifying sessions damp, leaving only the early afternoon session in which all the riders posted a fast time.

Used: Alpinestars Joey Canvas shoes review

Wed, 11 Sep 2013

The brief I gave to my girlfriend before packing for our little California road-trip was simple: “No hair straighteners, no high-heels and no hand bags!” So, I had to honour the whole ‘packing light’ thing too ...or risk a week of abuse. I picked up these shoes as I thought they’d double as decent riding gear for the Yamaha XVS650 and Ducati Diavel we had lined up but they also looked perfect for wearing with jeans when we’d dumped the bike and were heading out to explore the sights. They don’t feature any ‘real’ armour but they are made from a tough yet flexible canvas and they feature additional protection around the ankle.
