Ducati Superbike description

2006 Ducati Superbike 999R, full Racing Exhaust, after market clutch, shifter and dyno. very nice! - THE BEST V-TWIN ON THE PLANET Every year, Ducati satisfies the most demanding enthusiasts by producing a limited number of its most advanced, pure performance super-sports bike for the road: the 999R. Each and every one of these Superbikes, strictly available in single-seat versions, is a descendant of the glorious Ducati sporting tradition and represents the latest generation of a motorcycle that has dominated the World Superbike Championships for more than ten years. The 150 horsepower at 9,750 rpm produced from the famously smooth Borgo Panigale twin-cylinder engine, is the most power ever to appear in the legendary Ducati trellis frame. The large bore (104 millimeter) enables high revs as well as the use of larger-diameter valves to let the engine breathe freely. The main differences with respect to the other 999 models is found in the top end of the powerhouse where more extreme cam-timing guarantees top-notch performance, while the oversized titanium valves with reduced diameter stems work on bronze seats to ensure greater reliability. But that is not all. The 999R also has titanium valve collets, 12-hole racing injectors, magnesium head covers, carbon covers for the timing belts with a built-in ventilation system and carbon heat shield for the silencer. Everything has been designed as if this were an actual racing bike to offer exceptionally low weight and high performance without compromising reliability. The feathery overall weight of the 999R has been achieved by the use of several parts in magnesium, including the front headlight support and rear view mirror supports. The sculpted carbon fiber fairing has been shaped as a result of strict aerodynamic tests, carried out by applying the experience gained from hundreds of races all over the world. The tall Plexiglas nose fairing, identical to that used in competition, provides protection even at top speed. The seat features a high grip covering that enhances rider feel of the bike for improved control. Every single 999R is “signed” with a numbered silver plate on the top yoke, as well as a badge of authenticity supplied with the bike, both adding an extra touch of exclusivity to one of the most prestigious motorcycles currently available in the world.
