MODEL SUMMARY.
Ducati 999 BiPosto in Ducati Rosso Anniversario (Anniversary Red) with Red frame and Black wheels
A UK supplied bike first registered in June 2007 on an ’07’ prefix this is one of the very last of the 999s. The previous owner purchased it in 2013
35000 miles with service history. New timing belts, fresh Shell Ultra advance fully synthetic oil and spark plugs provided at point of sale along with a new MOT. Original service book + all original manuals. Service bills/invoices. Old MOTs. Clear HPI report. All documents/keys present
The Ducati 999 followed the much loved 916/996/998 Massimo Tamburini designed series. Penned by Pierre Terblanche, it became one of the most successful race bikes every produced by Ducati Corse, winning 3 out of 5 World Superbike titles between 2003 and 2007.
It was a huge step forward in many ways, not least being the first motorcycle in the world to utilise CAN bus wiring and electronics, that being in simplistic terms where individual cables and wires serve more than one purpose, or circuit
All 999 variants had the ‘Testastretta’ motor, previously seen in the earlier 996R and 998 models, and literally translated as ‘Narrow Head’ enabling a reduced included angle between the valves, this allowing bigger valves, and necessitating significant re-engineering and re-location of one half of the desmodromic valve gear
The 2005 model year bikes were uprated over earlier versions, and the motor now developed 140 bhp and 80 lb ft. They also displayed some styling and detailing differences, not least being the trademark trellis frame in Red
The mechanical specification was impressive and included 43mm diameter Showa forks, fully adjustable for compression and rebound with TiN anti friction coating, a progressive linkage rear suspension with fully adjustable Showa monoshock, 320mm floating discs with 4 piston calipers, Weber Marelli engine management with 54mm throttle bodies and a very light and stiff box section swingaram
This bike has been much loved, and well cared for by it’s previous owner, and it’s condition completly belies it’s mileage. It is a genuine bike, and is very much entry level money for a big capacity Ducati Superbike. With new belts, oil, plugs and 12 months MOT it will come to it’s new owner fully sorted, needing nothing at all and ready for the season ahead
