| Comments |
The Ducati 999 Superbike seems to be in motion even when at rest. And a look under its fairing confirms the 999s state-of-the art technology. Ducatis goal was to create a Superbike of stunning design that improves rider ergonomics, makes maintenance easier, reduces complexity of the motorcycle and offers performance second to none. The aerodynamics, mechanical and electronic components, chassis and running gear were developed first and styling followed. |
