Bologna998 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Hey everyone The Ducati 999 is one of the most underrated superbikes ever. 3 WSBK titles on the one hand, a controversial design on the other. Well, whatever, she’s mine now and that makes me very happy: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideWithStyles Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Agree, id have one in a heartbeat beat if i could . Mechanically better and has visually improved with age, just too far ahead of its time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder… the biking world is relatively conservative (little c) and isn’t always open to change. The jaw-dropping utterly gorgeous 916 set a high bar for Ducati aesthetically so any subsequent design replacement was unlikely to be well received. I thought Ducati did an excellent job. It’s too late for me now but I still desire a 916, mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
