In 2006, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Ducati 999R Xerox Replica, a sports machine packed with many features that differentiated it from the base Ducati 999R model.
The Replica model featured an Ohlins fork on the front with black sleeves, anodized black footpegs, and top yoke, an Ohlins rear suspension shock with a double damping adjuster, an aluminum body, radial-mounted calipers with a red Brembo logo, Xerox Replica graphics, and a racing kit with extra adhesives.
In addition, the bike was also fitted with titanium valve collets, 12-hole racing fuel injectors, magnesium head covers, carbon fiber timing bet covers, and a carbon fiber silencer cover. The bike was designed to be as light as possible and deliver high performance without compromising reliability.
In the appearance department, the bike was identical to the base 999R model, with a full fairing, a small windscreen, a single seat, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, and Y-shaped five-spoke alloy wheels.
As for power, the 2006 Ducati 999R Xerox Replica was handled by a 999cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 146 hp at 9,750 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.
The engine power was transferred to a six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulically-controlled dry multi-plate clutch and a final chain drive, pushing the machine to a top speed of 280 kph (174 mph).
