Ducati 749 SPECIFICATIONS, PRICE & IMAGES

chassis: the new model is a result of the efforts aimed at creating a machine
that would be race-ready straight off the production line, with a large number
of adjustments for attitude and riding position, while also being suitable for
use on the road. The result is a superbly contemporary range that is highly
sophisticated and able to meet the most demanding sports rider with the basic
equipment of the 749 and 999, and gradually approaching the S and R versions in
a series of evolutionary steps. This brings us to the current state of the art,
with the top of the range position occupied by a 999R packing a massive 150 HP,
proposed for 2006 also in a Xerox replica version, sporting the colours of the
“official” SBK ridden by James Toseland and Regis Laconi.

one of the key concepts of the latest generation of Ducati machines: the absence
of air turbulence makes the cockpit more comfortable – an important factor when
riding in traffic and offering significant benefits on the racetrack because
stress and fatigue levels are reduced, allowing riders to achieve consistently
fast lap times for longer. The unforgiving stopwatch has amply proved this
theory.

s also one final detail worthy of note: fore-aft adjustment of the
seat-tank unit on single-seater versions of the machines. These unique features
make the 749 and 999 the production machines that, of all the bikes currently on
the market, are the closest to the thoroughbred race versions.

on environmental concerns: all the twin cylinder engines, including the 150 HP
mounted on the 999R, comply in full with stringent Euro2 regulations.
