The up to 04 999 was a dog, the only good 999 was the 05-06 the s models being he best. to date Ducati has not built as good a chassis as the 05 06 999 and 999s.I would rather have a 999s over a 1098 any day.

From the factory the 999s was a better bike out of the box , it has race link rear suspension adjustable rear sets position, adjustable head stock just to name a few.
Yes it was 36k ,but get a 1098s to the same speck and it Will cost you 40k plus ,and it still want handle as good as a 999s .

I'll consider myself schooled on the topic - thanks Dock!

Thanks for the prices Doc...I'm surprised at how much $$ they were chasing for them! (given that they would need a VIV cert and still be on the written off register...)

93 900m referred at $6,250?  they're smoking rope if they think it's worth more than that.  $5,000 would be fair unless it's a minter (that hadn't been drowned).  and they sell a st4s for $7,000 - must have had something wrong with it.

So that slightly limited edition chassis they were turning out recently (which I believe you have an intimate knowledge of) is not up to the late model 999 chassis?

Interesting 

completely agree Dock!

my plan is to try and buy a 05/06 999s as my 4 valver...in a few years.

you're wise and handsome!

Getting hard to find Gianni picked up a sweet one for very little $ lucky bastid, I was also eye balling the same one in ACT but he got to it first dam you Gianni 

Test rode a cheap 05 999s 2 week ago 18k 4500km not allot of money but it had been raced had a huge flat spot around 7000rpm that it wouldn't pull out of, it was the abyss of flat spots.

sort of lost hope now hence the Yam.Good luck in finding a honest one.

couldn't give them away when they were new, now everyone wants one.  typical.

They are as ugly as F#*k 

reckon the 999 (05/06) grows on you (like fungus)....I like the s with the white mono rear! the re-style is quite good I think!

clear indicators on the front mirrors....all good!

no one wanted to buy a new 999 in 05 (not from us anyway).  well, that goes for most of the model range 04 - 06, excepting sXr monsters.  being a ducati dealer in those years was not good.  we sold over 100 new ducatis a year in the late 90's early 00's, then 35 on '06 i think.  wally and wally (at nfi) kept saying in 06 "there's a new superbike coming and it's great, just wait for it" and we'd say "you said that in '02 before the 999 came out too, and you lied make the beast with two backsing".
