– 2005 Ducati Superbike 999S

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

Built around the Testastretta engine, the 999S possesses the form of a pure sports bike: low, long, and narrow with exciting componentry and a technical look. Ducati’s experience gained over years of successful racing at the highest levels is evident in the design and technical characteristics of the 999S. The 999S combines incredible performance with a linear and tractable power delivery so you’re on the gas sooner and shift gears less. The motorcycle comes with a racing kit that includes a complete Termignoni exhaust system, an electronic control unit with race mapping and a carbon fibre silencer cover.

Our goal was to create a Ducati Superbike of stunning design that improves rider ergonomics, makes maintenance easier, reduces complexity of the motorcycle and offers performance second to none.

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.
