Ducati's profilation of this bike |
With the arrival of the 2005 model, the differences between the 999R and Ducati’s competition bikes have almost disappeared. The R features the latest, most advanced Testastretta engine, radically redesigned from the cases up. The result is an engine that delivers 150 hp, the most power of any Ducati production engine and a safe bet for anybody who wants a bike that leaves the competition standing.
