"Ducati 996" (1999)
The Ducati 996, introduced in 1999, is a motorcycle that
built upon the legacy of its predecessor, the 916, while pushing the
boundaries of performance and design even further. The 996 retained the
striking design language of the 916, with its sharp lines, underseat
exhaust, and single-sided swing-arm, but featured significant mechanical
upgrades. At the heart of the 996 was a 996cc L-twin engine, which
produced around 112bhp, offering more power and torque than the
916. This increase in power, combined with an improved cooling system
and upgraded suspension components, made the 996 a formidable machine on
both the road and the track. The 996 was also equipped with Brembo
brakes, providing exceptional stopping power to match its blistering
speed. The bike's handling was lauded for its precision, making it a
favourite among enthusiasts and racers alike. The Ducati 996 continued
the brand's tradition of blending stunning design with cutting-edge
performance, solidifying its place as one of the most iconic superbikes
of its era.
