Italians girls of 2005: Ducati 999R and MV Agusta F4 1000

[@spudtrainspotting9149]

Absolutely agree, 999 is ugly, or so I though when it was launched. I've just purchased a 999s and love it, it's beautiful in the flesh. And amazing to ride.

[@thekingmezger]

spud train spotting 100% agree with you, like wine it gets better with age. And the 999s has those Ohlins goodies

[@spudtrainspotting9149]

@@thekingmezger yes it does, and some engine parts as well.👍

[@dazzz4real]

I also bought one and before I had a998 with issues 😅. Gets nicer with every day. Great punching torque

[@Biker999s]

me 2. As a matter of fact , i steel believe SHE is ugly . BUT , with an Alice costume seems to be wonderful . Every stop light several riders and drivers ask me about HER . I.M.O. best ever made bike is M.V. Agusta F4 1000 RR , mod' 2012-2013 .

[@edwardweiszbeck1649]

Great showcase sir. Thanks for putting this vid up for us all to see these two bikes side by side. Great narrative with the vid 👍

[@jodeskid]

999 was ahead of its time and it has aged better than the 998, which now looks dated. All in my humble opinion.

[@ricardocastro4138]

Completely agree for me the prettiest Ducati’s are Mh900e, 999,

[@ricardocastro4138]

Apart from the more modern bikes I mean

[@jodeskid]

@@ricardocastro4138 and i'm a fan of the gt sports. I think Terblanche was ahead of the curve. Even the Multisteada DS is starting to grow on me :)

[@Biker999s]

@@ricardocastro4138 Completely disagree . I had a 748 and i have a 999s ( obviously ) . She is agly , but she has an enormous torque and a power of about 150 bhp , with termignoni , p.c. , filters and new injection bodies . 748 ( and also , 916 , 998 ) was a masterpiece of design .

Your video came up a couple of minutes ago... I just bought a 999s and I had to see yours, amazing! then I realized your name is "Mezger" and seeing your Porsches behind... well, I had to subscribe! Keep it up! I have a 997 turbo ;-)

Been riding (only) Ducati's since 1986. My first bike was the 1985 Pantah 600. The 2004 749S monoposto was by far the best bike I ever owned, and the one I miss the most.

[@CharlesA_337]

Just found your channel, and really been enjoying your content. Love your collection. Thanks for sharing with us, and love all the detail. Great to hear from someone who actually owns and uses them.

[@thekingmezger]

Welcome aboard!

[@Eidrian111]

Gorgeous bikes. My two favourites. Congratulations.

[@plusgtr1st124]

They say the 999R is ugly, but tell me a Suzuki, Honda or Yamaha that surpasses this 2006 Ducati in Design?

[@kanionn1]

Its not a choke on the 999. Its a device to increase idle rpm. Both bikes are fantastic! Enjoy them

[@thekingmezger]

That’s right - still “choke” is shorter than “thingy to increase idle rpm” 😜

[@maxcarter970]

You've got quite a collection!

[@thekingmezger]

Max Carter thanks! :)

[@Robsheph]

Excellent video some good comments, i think your right about the 999r its fantastic-my year we had the 998 another fantastic bike the proper dukes

[@crwmdp9]

Selling the F4? 🙏

[@thekingmezger]

Sorry sold a while back

[@crwmdp9]

@@thekingmezger oh well. If you hear of a nice one would appreciate a heads up. Many thanks

[@andrewotter8163]

The 999 is a better looking bike than the F4. Dated far better. Terblanche knew his stuff 😎👍

[@nicensleazy1892]

I sold my 999 R MK 2 for a MV Agusta F4 1000 . If I'm honest, it was the worst thing I have ever done. I missed my 999 R so much. Better ride , super smooth and much better sound. MV had shit fuelling at low speed , didn't have the sound and more uncomfortable . Now I'm just in the process of buying a 749 R

[@thekingmezger]

You went for the looks but not the riding pleasure 😜 Nothing from those years rides as nicely as a 749/999 🙂

[@element7us]

I’m looking at one now 05’ w/ full termi 4,500 mls @ 25k don’t know if that’s to much. Whats your opinion on ownership? Thanks

[@jeromef2001]

@@thekingmezger not even the 998?? What about the 1098?

[@jeromef2001]

Why do you prefer the 749 instead of the 999?

[@thekingmezger]

@@jeromef2001 I think the chassis of the 999 is just better, easier to ride
