The Ducati 999 superseded the Massimo tamburini designed Ducati 916, Ducati 996 and Ducati 999 range of superbikes in 2003, and was produced through 2006. This motorcycle enjoyed great success in World superbike, and was raced in the series through the 2007 season, despite no longer being produced, pending rules changes by the series' governing body, FIM, to allow competition of the new Ducati 1098.
The 999 was designed by Pierre terblanche, amid much controversy over its divisive styling. It is known as an extremely high performance, race oriented motorcycle. With its traditional Ducati L Twin Desmodromic Valve actuated engine layout, it has a linear power delivery, with high power and torque figures available even at low RPM. Additionally, with its high spec suspension and trellis chassis, it is one of the finest handling motorcycles for its time.
The 2005 Ducati 999S won the Maxisport category for the prestigious international Masterbike 2005 comparison and finished 2nd overall. Subsequently, more powerful 999S and 999R (provided with 102 dB Termignoni race-spec exhaust) versions were introduced, both capable of 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in under three seconds; and a top speed of over 170 mph (+270 km/h).
It has received critical acclaim from many corners, such as MCN of the U.K. which called it "simply the best V-Twin on the planet", and Motorbikestoday.com, which described it "the most desirable, most exciting roadbike on the planet" in 2004. MotorcycleUSA.com described it as "stupendous" and "the epitome of V-Twin power."

gsxr 1000
A popular sportbike today is the Suzuki GSXR 1000. It is also a sportbike that has the most aftermarket parts out there. What every year from 'there Gixxer' is something that can be done with it. The best way to start is to change the stock tail lights. Clear Alternative Integrated LED makes light tail brake lights and turn signals within the same unit. This is what I have on my bike and really make the tails look good as the lens comes in different colors.
The Fender eliminator to remove a large mass lights that came with the bike and relocates the license plate numbers to a more hidden location. If you want to make some major changes to your tail, you can skip the two things I mentioned above and purchase under tail kit from Hot Body Racing. Under tail kit is not exactly what it says, it makes the entire lower tail of the bike matches the paint on the bike. This gives a neat clean look to make your bike stand out. Under tail kit is also equipped with turn signal replacement and relocation of the license as well.
Less expensive thing to do would be to add new wind screen from Zero Gravity Racing. Zero Gravity makes what is called 'Double bubble' wind screen that would block the wind from the face of the rider to ride smoother and faster. Zero gravity wind screen to come from all colors, Dark Smoke smoke to Chrome. Another thing you can do with your Gixxer is to buy a Fender Eliminator from Competition Werkes.
You can also consider changing your hand levers that can come in colors of Black, for carbon fiber is more expensive multi-colored lever from Pazzo Racing.
The motorcycle can be very nice if you could take the time to modify or riding a motorcycle. So why not enjoy a fun with your motorcycle.
