Andy why would the all conquering 999r need extra cc's? i thought these were the ultimate ducati?

[antonye]

AND why increase the stroke on that short stroke motor? Surely it won't rev so high now?

i guess the 200 bhp makes up for it though.......

late 996 crank will go straight in, you'd need to use pankle RS rods to take the extra power though.

Standard pistons work fine but if you're going to do this you may as well fit the Pistal high comp ones to make the most of things as the crank/rods/pistons assembly has to be re-balanced or it will shake itself to bits.

top mod..... if you want the extra grunt.

but ... to make the most of it you'll need big exhaust system, flowed heads, and on and on...

I'd rather have a 748R with a Sigma 853R conversion thanks

Less is more as they say.

Im not saying i want it...........im just saying as we wait with baited breath for the "new" bike, its just a good ol Ducati add together a bit of this and a bit of that = 1120cc!

mind you...........

[twpd]

They probably had some left over 996 cranks and bodywork

Isn't that how they do things normally?

or wait 6 weeks til the new bike is out.!!!!

when you say pankle rs rods........from what bike? arnt the 999r rods pankle? do they need to be a shorter length cos of the increased stroke?
