motorbike: Ducati 999R |
 | | This latest evolutionary cycle has taken the desmodromic Testastretta to the highest level of efficiency ever achieved, demonstrated by a PME of over 14 bar, a figure well beyond the reach of other production engines. |
| | The engine's power and torque figures of 150 hp at 9,750 rpm and 11.9 kgm at 8,000 rpm are even more impressive if you consider that it is fitted with a road homologated catalysed exhaust and conforms to strict Euro2 standards. |
| | The race kit supplied with the 999R nevertheless allows owners to achieve even higher performance figures if they so require. |
