Ducati 999 S (2005)

Ducati 999 S (2005)

The Ducati 999 S: a true thoroughbred of a motorcycle. Built around the mighty Testastretta engine, it exudes the form of a pure sports bike – low, long, and narrow, with an unapologetic technical look that hints at its racing heritage.

Every aspect of the 999 S has been honed to perfection, from its progressive linkage suspension to its fully adjustable Hinson monoshock. The result is a machine that delivers incredible performance, but also one that rewards riders with a linear and tractable power delivery – making it an absolute blast to ride on both twisty roads and fast circuits.

With its racing kit included as standard, the 999 S comes equipped with a Termignoni exhaust half-system, complete with electronic control unit and race mapping. The overall effect is nothing short of intoxicating: a machine that’s ready to devour any road or circuit you throw at it, with a ferocity that’s simply unmatched by its rivals.
