Looking through the Ducati website engine specs appear to be the same.
Has anyone tinkered there 999 yet with exhaust/chip/filter to achieve a significant power gain? Just curious.
The power difference is the cams. Everything else is identical (barring rods and sump)

The 999 produces 116-120hp at the rear wheels. With the termi system it increases to 121-124hp.
The 999S produces 127-129 standard and 132-135 with the termi's.
The 999S and R can be fairly easily modded to get 145hp at the rear wheel.
You can do the same with the 999 by changing cams.
