Pretty sure those Pankl con-rods are Ti :)

Only 136hp........you wanna get a powerful Ducati......:lol::lol:

I must have one of the cheapo versions as all of my literature states mine is 135bhp.

So theres my excuse for being slow:D

136 is the std performance figure for the 996r and 998s........the r did have ti rods, the 998 has steel. Both had the sand cast deep sump.

But this is all so yesterday........................:P

Wouldn't want one of those cheaper 999Rs - ;)

Depends Tim .... how cheap? ;)

it depends how long it takes to bring out the next 999 !!!! ;)

so, from reading this my bike is just as good as 996r...




















ducking for cover....






only joking btw... :burn:
