| Goal of the project: "to make a real fat upper mid" |
| October 2007 999S -03, 57 mm Termignoni, before: 135,69 hp 999S -06, slip on: 139,51 hp 999R FILA -04, 57 mm Termignoni: 140,60 hp |

| * My last bike was a Ducati 916 SP3, the most beautiful bike ever built. The engine has its limitations though. Therefore it is time to give the 999S a try by some real serious work. So, from design to performance. |
