Very nice bike. It sounds more like an Italian exotic that a sportbike. The owner was a very nice guy who has been riding competitively for around 10 years. We went on my 3 honks from 30 (me in 2nd gear) to about 90. He got a slight jump on me and then when I came into full boost, I caught him, passed him and started pulling away. When we shut it down, I had him by about 3 1/2 car lengths. He said "man, that car is fast as hell!"

Man, I love this car!!!!

It belongs to one of our club members. I did a roll on with him from 50-140, I started in 2nd. We were even until about 60 when I shifted to 3rd, then I started to pull on him and the distance kept getting bigger. I had him by about 4 cars when we shut it down. Those cars are no joke, it was VERY fast. He's getting some mods done (software and pulley), we're going to run again after.

Nice job, Joe. Ducati 999's are very quick. Pro riders have taken them 10.20's-10.30' @ 133!

Thanks Scott! The results make sense because my car has trapped as high as 137
