– 2005 Ducati Superbike 999R

The Ducati 749 Testastretta and 999 Testastretta are the most advanced, highest performance, twin-cylinder motorcycles ever produced at our Bologna, Italy factory. They epitomize the racing history of Ducati and represent the evolution of a formula that has dominated Superbike racing for over a decade. This year’s Superbike family includes seven models: the 749 Dark, 749, 749S, 749R, 999, 999S and 999R.

Two years after the launch of the latest Superbike models, Ducati decided the time had come to incorporate in our production models the features of our race machines that make them unbeatable on tracks around the world.

In motion even when others are at rest. Quicker and sexier than ever, these are real race machines that epitomize the best of Ducati’s high performance tradition.

Features & Benefits

With the arrival of the 2005 model, the differences between the 999R and Ducati’s competition bikes have almost disappeared. The R features the latest, most advanced Testastretta engine, radically redesigned from the cases up. The result is an engine that delivers 150 hp, the most power of any Ducati production engine and a safe bet for anybody who wants a bike that leaves the competition standing.

In terms of power, efficiency and weight, the 999R is equipped with the best components currently in production.

Hailed by the press as the best Twin ever produced, the new 999 has proved to its riders its power to win on tracks around the world. The innovative and cool design immediately draws attention to this dynamic machine. The Ducati 999 seems to be in motion even when at rest.

And a look under its fairing confirms the 999’s state-of-the art technology.
