The Ducati 999 is aimed at riders who value character, sound and an engaging riding experience more highly than maximum practicality for everyday use. The powerful L-twin cylinder engine, the dry clutch and the precise chassis deliver an unmistakable old-school Ducati experience. In return, it demands more attention at low revs, when it comes to maintenance and when selecting a well-maintained bike. Its controversial design makes it comparatively accessible within the Ducati world.
