The 999 family of sports machines was created in 2003 when the Italian motorcycle manufacturer introduced the Ducati 999 as the first member of the range. In addition to the base model, the maker released the Ducati 999S and 999R, two more advanced and powerful models with race-derived suspension, brakes, and carbon fiber elements.

The 999 had great success right from the start of its journey through the sports bike world, winning the Superbike World Championship in 2003 with the 999 ridden by Neil Hodgson, in 2004 by James Toseland, and in 2006 with Troy Bayliss behind bars.

In 2007, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Ducati 999R Net Bikers Team, a special edition machine with minor improvements in various departments. The bike was dressed in the same livery found on the official motorcycle that competed in the World Superbike Championship.

Some notable improvements received by the machine included carbon fiber side and upper fairings, a braced swingarm, magnesium head covers and headlight support, an Ohlins steering damper, and forged aluminum wheels.

In the performance department, the 2007 Ducati 999R Net Bikers Team had its muscles from a 999cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 146 hp at 9,750 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.

The bike's six-speed manual transmission sent the engine power to the rear wheel through a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to 280 kph (174 mph).
