Ducati's best bike: the 999
The best Ducati motorcycle is the 999 model. Find out below why Ducati was considered the most beautiful motorcycle for many years.
After the withdrawal of production from the 998 model in 2004, you had the 999, which now has a different and futuristic look for the time.
Did you know that in the world of automobiles, the phrase “Ahead of its time” was used to describe products that were too good to be true.
But, that failed to attract the attention of consumers.
Over time, these bikes (or cars) become cults, and the Ducati 999 was no exception.
In this way, many Ducati models have turned from motorcycles into icons since their creation in recent decades.
And with the 999 model it was no different when it became rare.
With the 999, Terblanche didn't just want to make a revolutionary bike, he also wanted to make your life easier.
So for that he offered easy and more reliable maintenance.
Because of this, the 999 had longer service intervals with improved horsepower and torque figures.
Also, unlike the Ducatis of yesteryear, the 999 put functionality on a higher pedestal than looks.
The arrival of the 999S and 999R versions offered more adrenaline with a remapping engine delivering more power.
If you had this bike, it could do 0-62 mph dashes in less than three seconds.
The Ducati 999 was certainly a highly powerful machine, and some of the biggest publications in the motoring world.
That bike claimed to be the best V-twin on the planet at the time, as well as being the most desirable and thrilling road bike in the world.
The 999 was one of the first bikes that made the 998cc Testastretta Desmodromic L-twin engine immortal.
This was the engine that produced 124 hp and 75.2 lb-ft of torque and made the 999 capable of 170 MPH.
