999 Did The Do A Xerox 999s?

Discussion in '749 / 999' started by Dr.D, Dec 7, 2018.

  1. Did Ducati release a Xerox Troy Bayliss 999S, or were they resprayed?
     
  2. No, only the 999R

  3. Think they were the last of the 999r bikes in Xerox colours .
     
  4. They made them in 2005 to the start of 2006, last one's were 06' red ones...
     
  5. Did a nice black one too...
     
  6. Gloss Black :thinkingface:

  8. What is Italian for gloss?
     
  9. glosso. Probably.

  10. So the boys in the Bologna factory would call it "nero glosso", or something like that. Assuming the boys speak Italian.

    Cool. Thanks.

  11. It looks nice enough but I am pretty sure Bayliss rode solo. There are plenty of monopostos around in this price bracket so you would be basically buying a biposto with a fancy aftermarket paint job!

  12. Hi JoeC, its a genuine later monoposto S as I HPI checked it etc, as later 05 onwards S are pretty tricky to come by, I can't find another one. Is it a biposto seat / monopsoto unit conversion which is why it is confusing me as it? As it doesn't seem one piece.
     
  13. But the 999R xerox had a similar seat unit.....
     
  14. Just looking at it again, its makes sense a biposto seat unit with cowl. But why when its a genuine monoposto S....
     
  15. Biposto subframe, biposto tail, only monoposto had Dzus fasteners on the side fairings. Sooo...must be a biposto then.
     
  16. It has a bip subframe too, could have been swapped but needs double checking - will cost a bit unless the part are with it. Can’t imagine someone doing the xerox paint/sticker kit on mono with a BIP seat unit...
     
  17. Cheers for your help. Yep weird, HPI / logbook states Ducati 999 S Mono. Its a lot to spend with a hunch, going to give it a miss
     
  18. #A chassis check with your local ducati dealer is required on this one,but is it not a bike with stickers on:thinkingface:a copy of a copy.
     
  19. The colour scheme you're really looking for was factory, it's known as "giallo".
