The Ducati 999 was a sports motorcycle manufactured by Ducati from 2003 to 2006. The bike replaced the Ducati 916, 996, and 998 superbikes designed by Massimo Tamburini. The bike was also known as the Triple Nine or Nine-nine-nine on the streets.
Right from the beginning, the Ducati 999 had great success in the Superbike World Championship, winning in 2003 with Neil Hodgson behind bars, in 2004 with James Toseland at controls, and in 2006 with Troy Bayliss riding.
In 2005, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati 999R Fila Toseland Replica, a machine built in honor of James Toseland that won the 2004 Superbike World Championship. The 2005 Ducati 999R Fila Toseland Replica was an exquisitely crafted machine with the lightest materials and delicate parts found anywhere in the world.
The bike was based on the 2004 Ducati 999R and featured full Fila/Ducati Corse WSBK graphics, carbon fiber side, upper fairings, a WSBK-inspired swingarm, magnesium head covers, headlight support, and forged aluminum wheels. At the time, the bike was available at an MSRP of $24,995.
As for power, the 2005 Ducati 999R Fila Toseland Replica had its muscles from a 999cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin fuel-injected engine that delivered an output power of 146 hp at 9,750 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.
The bike's power was delivered to the ground through a six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulically-operated dry multi-plate clutch and a final chain drive, pushing the machine to 280 kph (174 mph).
