999R

[EllioTT_GiXXeR]

Right i am bored at work and want some information on this bike since hopefully i should be getting one next year.

I know its ohlins all round and brembo brakes and a more powerfull engine.

How much should i be looking at paying for a good 2nd one? and i hope they come with a after market exhuast as standard.

I know I'm not answering your question, but have you worked out why you want a 999R?

If you've got the money to waste spend for aesthetic reasons, fair enough.
If someone's giving you one on the condition you don't sell it, fair enough.
If you're racing at national level or higher, again fair enough.

Otherwise, you could get a lower model and spend some of the money saved on a few twaeks and have a lot better bike, I reckon.


Definitely don't expect it to make you go much faster, road or track.

Carbon fibre everything as standard
Temi system as standard
Full ohlins
Radial Brembo calipers
Slipper clutch
Shorter stroke and more powerful engine
Different wheels i believe( marchesini)
as well as various other parts like a different yoke.

G, are you an accountant or do you always try to bring people down a step on what they fancy when it involves spending some cash? I can tell your only expressing your honest view, in some cases I agree with you for the fact that Elliot might not be aware he could get more bike for less, but it bugs me for the fact that in every post I read, you seem to be the same. It kinda bugs me to think that you'd never feel what I think quite a few of us feel when we want to spend our money on something we can be proud of?

If I could afford to buy a 999R, run it, insure it and crash it then I'd get one

I think they're lovely - if I one the lottery they'd be one in my stable of bikes.

That is exactly why I bought a second hand Buell and not a brand new Daytona 675...

I have lots of fun on the Buell. I know I can drop it and it will be OK (it has very good crash mushrooms, already tested by Danny ).

Its not the fastest thing out there but it suits me.

I also have a cheap track bike which I take to trackdays. I'm a lot faster on that (a 2t 250) than I ever have been on my bigger bikes, purely because if I crash it, its not the end of the world.

the 999R and the D675 have one thing in common. They both have very pretty but very fragile fairing panels.

That puts me off a bit, considering I've dropped every bike I've owned (except, ironically, my 1986 TZR250).

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I just couldn't waste 9k on one, I think it's a bit of poo for that money.The bike is one ugly bitch, the 916 is how they should look.


For that money I could get an early zx10r and a half decent car, and insure both.

Fair enough if you're rich, why not! Not for me though, ever

Not everyone looks as if its a ferrari, everyone looks as its a sports bike, it is no different from riding down the street on a K6 gixxer.

Why not wait for the new 1200 they're bringing out? they are finally ditching the ridiculously ugly looks of the new bikes in favour of a more 916 stylke at last

The 999R does come with an open pipe as standard, and if you have the money, why not get one.

I kind of agree with G, personally I dont go WOW A DUCATI. I think they are mostly ridden by people with lots of money and no imagination, just like ferraris. You have £9000 to spend do you A). buy something cheaper, and spend the rest of the money making a unique bike more suited to exactly what you want. Or B). buy a ducati because they are the "best bikes" since you cant imagine something better, id be much more interested in looking at a special that had someones time effort and thought put into it than a bike that someone just bought because they were rich.

There's a 999R that frequents Bury Hill. No one seems to pay too much attention to it. Despite the carbon fibre bodywork (only shown through the bike's flanks and beneath its "decals"), Ohlins, Termis, etc - everyone seems to pass it as if any other 999.

If G's right and the bike doesn't give any real-road benefits from a rider's point of view, is there really a need?

If we had a Top Gear-esc Cool Wall, I reckon the bike would be pretty near the uncool section - it seems to need far too many Ducati-geeks explaining to everyone why their bike is cooler than everyone elses.

There was a bran new 2006 one in southhall yesterday the guy riding it was wearing a pin strip suit and loafers
