Proud new owner !

[kingfixer]

Well as of today I am the new owner of a 2003 Ducati 999s, went to look at it last Sunday and that was it, absolutely fantastic nick and a host of extras !! mainly BST Carbon wheels !! full 57mm Termi exhaust system ,PC111, clutch etc etc. A quick blast back today down the M4 back home, things to change already, need either a grippier seat or at least some grippy tank pads, the seat is very slippy. Didn't like the position of the pegs so may get some rearsets apart from that not a lot . Oh and the mirrors give the worst view ive had so far on a sportsbike
Only pic I have so far will take some more tonight

Lovely, only gutted I did not get to see in person, plenty of time for that

[Perkles]

[Kwacky]

I do like those. Looks in good nick as well.

Very nice Mick. A very impressive stable now with the multi, Blade and 999.

Work hard, play hard I say. Enjoy them all

[TonyB]

Nice! Looks comfy

[D6Nutz]

That's nice. One bike I would love to own, there is something about the stacked headlights I like.

[Blade]

Is it the later model with the fabricated swing arm Mick or a cast swing arm ?

Mine has the cast swingarm, done a bit of research and I think the black swingarm is from 05 onwards. Looks like a good mod to do but I think it's pretty hard to get hold of one. Something to think about for next year maybe.

Just gave it a clean

[Kwacky]

Mint. Hopefully I'll get a closer look at it soon.

[kingfixer]

Need to change that red chain

[Blade]

Looks mint Mick and looking at the size of those chicken strips I think it's had one extremely careful owner. Very nice purchase. Enjoy it.

[kingfixer]

TO be fair to the previous owner he put some new rubber on he's only done about 200 miles on them.
Very happy with it, there a few stone chips etc but for its age its in extremely good condition, always fancied one so thought why the hell not !!

Nice bike, Mick. A man of perfect taste.

I did see your enquiry about it on the forum.

[Tricky]

fantastic great looking bit of kit

Lovely, I have always liked them. They had a hard life as they were probably the least liked evolution in the Ducati range, even more so following on from the 916/998.

Enjoy it mate, she looks mint.

Nice!!!!!!!!

[Blade]

I think they were also the most successful Ducati in wsbk too

I think they were also the most successful Ducati in wsbk too

That is mainly down to the 916 results being categorized differently to the 996 and 998.

I think the 916 on its own won about 2 races less than the 999 but if you add in 996 and 998 race wins it won nearly twice as many as the 999.

[Blade]

So the 999 is the most successful Ducati wsbk in history then
