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.

And it's goodbye from him
Tue, 17 Aug 2010THIS IS Valentino Rossi's farewell letter to his Fiat Yamaha team following the announcement the flambouyant Italian is to head to Ducati MotoGP in 2011.The hand-written letter, mistakes and all, is written in almost a 'my first romance' kinda way. It's touching, if a little bizarre. Some of the letter reads:“Unfortunately even the most beautiful love stories finish, but they leave a lot of wonderful memories, like when my M1 and I kissed for the first time on the grass at Welkom, when she looked straight in my eyes and told me ‘I love you!'"Somehow, we can't see Casey Stoner gushing quite as freely when he leaves Ducati for Repsol Honda.
