DUCATI999S 2006 - 2007

　　The Ducati 999 was a sports machine made from 2003 to 2006, also known as the Triple Nine or Nine-nine-nine. The bike was designed by Pierre Terblanche and replaced the Ducati 916, 996, and 998 superbikes designed by Massimo Tamburini.

　　In addition to the standard 999 model, the Italian manufacturer made the Ducati 999S and 999R available. Both machines packed more advanced suspensions and brakes than the base model but also more power.

　　In 2006, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati 999S, a sports motorcycle that debuted in 2003. The bike didn't feature any significant modifications compared to the previous model and delivered the same specifications.

　　In the aesthetic department, the bike packed standard features, such as a full fairing, a small windscreen, a single seat, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, a side stand, and lightweight 10-spoke lightweight alloy wheels.

　　As for power, the 2006 Ducati 999S took its muscles from a 999cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine with an electronically controlled fuel injection system in charge, delivering an output power of 143 hp at 9,750 rpm and 113 Nm (83 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.

　　Compared to the standard model, the 999S comprised a race-derived suspension system, including a 43 mm fully adjustable upside-down TiN-coated Ohlins fork on the front and a fully adjustable Ohlins shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent suspension performance and handling.
