Wotcha,

2005 bike has...

revised fairing design (one less vent on front and higher screen)

Ohlins forks with revised internals. (different adjuster rod)

Radial brembo calipers (04 has the traditionally mounted 4 pad brembos)

revised motor, different cams, crank and pistons. (few more horses) the motor lists at just 3 bhp more than standard but when you fit the termi exhuast you get a bigger gain than with the standard (bp) model.

Race swingarm, as fitted to the 999R / 749R only up to 04

colour coded frame (red on red bike etc)

Black rear subframe

Black marchesini wheels (04 has grey)

The 05 Comes with a Termi asymetric race exhaust system, carbon cover and ECU. the 04 comes only with standard exhaust.

and... the 05 bike has been a mega seller (in ducati terms) but i think there are still 04 bikes out there unsold at some dealers. all the 05 bike are now sold and the ones coming though now are 2006 models (no change for '06) so draw you own conclusions about residule values. but who knows.

you will be lucky to find a used 2005 "S"

if you need any more info u2u me.

And here's the '05.
Ooh yeah,I forgot you get the Termi sound system with the '05.
And the radial brakes!


I love my bike!
