Yep, 05 S has new swingarm, radial mounted brakes, bodywork made from new and less weight material, a small increase in HP (does it??), and the racing kit which means half (i think) Termignoni exhaust system, ECU and carbon fiber silencer cover.
And, of course the new 05 front fairing and red frame.
I think the 05 is a big overall improvment over the 04. |
Just checked the Ducati 04 and 05 tech specs and both quote weight as 199KG, the online MCN 999 review claims a 13kg weight saving and I guess you'd expect some saving with lighter panels and the new swingarm but Ducati don't quote any difference, weird.
I agree 05 is an improvement over 04 but is a £4K improvement??. That saving could get you a termi ti system with a good weight saving and lighter wheels which will make as much difference if not more than swingarm. You pays your money and takes your choice Plus I couldn't afford the 05 999S so I'd still be riding a Honda SP2.
