999r

Have you had the chance to see this in person? What a machine! The Marchesini wheels and liberal use of carbon fiber are enough to make me :eek: . The styling is controversial, but it's almost like sex on wheels. http://image.www.rakuten.co.jp/marutomiauto/img1041659853.jpeg

:drool: Sweet Bike! Well, this my first post! Only right to post in the Ducati section- Best bikes in the world! Being that i'm not a current bike owner, when I do get one, It will be the Supersport 800 in yellow, would be a good option for a rookie driver :D No stunt tricks for me anytime soon :LOL: http://www.ducati.com/docs_eng/photogalleries2/SS800_04/images/f06.jpg Great site!

Very sweet looking bike :) Test drove 999, great handling bike with nice power. But do not expect to drive bike more than 200 miles in a day.

Good to see you around! :thumbs:

I haven't had the pleasure as of yet, but those are just sexy

Ducati's are all about all out speed and performance..road a 996 before, and damn, uncomfortable as hell, but performed like a beast!!! :thumbs:

Great looking machine

Yea, I got to see one, I got to touch it!!! All!!!! the fairings are carbon the exhaust shroud is carbon, the beltcovers are carbon. Not to mention the magnesium headlight capsule. I got to ride a 999S model. Wow. I'm gonna have to through about $5k at my 996 to make it even come close to the S. I can't even imagin how the R rides. Oh yea I almost forgot, radial master cylinders and radial calipers. Full Ohlins suspention and special swing arm exclusive to R models. the list go on and on. I wish I had an extra $30K just lying around. Of course if I had that I'd probably just wait for the MotoGP RR bike that is comming out soon!!!! :drool: :bonk:

I wish I had an extra $30K just lying around. You're in good company here! :lol: Don't we all wish we had an "extra" $30K around!

put me down for an extra 30K to please...

I would love to have one of these! Looking at a new 999s. Why not a R? It's only a GSXR or R1 away from the S model!

Is that the first year the ducs are going with the signals on the mirrors, like the new Gixxer1000 ?

Is that the first year the ducs are going with the signals on the mirrors, like the new Gixxer1000 ? First I have seen.

First I have seen. Thanks for the info..i didnt notice them until you just that pic up..but anywho...I just cant get into the signals on the mirrors..seems like it should be more of sport-tourer type thing to me..but to each his own I guess..i like the flush mounts on the side, or like Dyno has his. you'll see in some of the pics gas man loads up soon.

Yeah, I'm gettin there!!!

Is that the first year the ducs are going with the signals on the mirrors, like the new Gixxer1000 ? The first to do it was Aprilia on the Futura. I believe all of the 999's are that way. Now take that back! There's nothing about the 999 that's anything like a Suzuki. :bash:

Now take that back! There's nothing about the 999 that's anything like a Suzuki. :bash: yes ur right..theres nothing the would link the 2 together other than the signals on the mirrors... oh the gixxer peeps could have some fun with that one.. :rolleyes:

Just for the record; Ducati & Suzuki, claim putting the signals in the mirror's decreases wind drag and offers wider visibility. :spam: Thanks to wind tunnel testing. (body work is'nt just for looks anymore) I think it's new parts to sale for more $$$ & less parts to build. :2cents:
