Positioned in Ducati's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2006 Ducati Superbike 999R Xerox utilizes a 999 cc (61 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 147.5 HP (107.7 kW) at 9,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 116.7 Nm (86.1 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 147.6 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (9,750 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Superbike 999R Xerox measures 181 kg (399 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.81 HP/kg (1.23 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,420 mm (55.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure.
