Additional Features

New for 2004 Two years after the “red-volution”, all the models in Ducati’s Superbike family, in both engine sizes, have been dramatically improved. Updates have involved not just restyling but a series of major improvements to chassis and engine aimed at bringing the 749 and 999 closer still to Ducati’s ultimate sports motorcycle concept, making them meaner, faster and more competitive than ever. But even though Ducati’s SBK range now looks almost identical to the bikes that dominate the world’s championships, they are still just as comfortable as ever. Because comfort is not just something you need on long road rides. Comfort is also essential if you want to maintain high speeds for any length of time on the track. And stylistic improvements are only part of the story. Performance has got substantially better too. from which Supersport and Superbike machines are derived, Supersport motorcycles, represent a segment of the market that has exploded in recent years. All 999’s and 749’s (the basic models, the S and the R), have been substantially improved and to bring the specifications of these latest models closer to the bikes ridden by the official Ducati racing team.
