ROAD TEST

IT’S not even 24 hours since NeilHodgson won the 2003 WorldSuperbike championship, butalready his history-making Ducatiis being fettled for more action atHolland’s legendary Assen circuit.

MCN’s Trevor Franklin is about to getthe chance to ride the factory 999 F03around the track less than a day after30,000 fans cheered Hodgson to glory inHolland. Franklin had been shadowingthe champion throughout his title-winning weekend. He stood with him onthe grid before the races (see page 37).And you can read his interview withHodgson on page 38.

But right now the crowds are gone andHodgson’s all-conquering Ducati is beingmeticulously prepared for its worldexclusive ride by MCN. We’re going toride it back-to-back with the factory’sflagship road bike – the 999R – to findout how the ultimate Ducati road bikemeasures up to its ultimate racer.

As the rain hammers down, two FilaDucati team technicians slot theMarchesini front wheel– shod withheavily grooved Michelin wets – betweenthe Ohlins fork legs. The Brembo venteddiscs are generously offset from thewheel’s hub so the rim is allowed to passbetween the Brembo radially-mounted

calipers, which remain bolted in position.If this was the 999R – the road bike on

which the F03 is based – it would take20 minutes to unbolt the calipers,change the tyre and fix everything backin place. So far it has taken thetechnicians three minutes on the racebike. Isn’t it about time quick-releasewheels appeared on road bikes?

Firing up the 999R is a simple matterof turning the left clip-on mountedquick-idle lever (used to be called achoke lever on carburated bikes) to on,switching the ignition to on, andthumbing the starter button. The bike’sMagneti Marelli engine management

system automatically keeps the startermotor turning until the engine catchesand fires up. Simple.

Starting the race bike is not simple. Aremote starter in the shape of a petrolengine driving a wheel is needed. It ispushed against the bike’s rear tyre, revvedflat out and when the 999’s wheel isspinning fast enough the clutch is dropped.It’s a labour-saving version of bump-starting. Just as well, too, because bump-starting a V-twin with compression as highas the F03 is bloody near impossible.

As the race bike’s titanium Termignonirace can barks into life, the 999R’s ‘doff-doff-doff’ tickover note is drowned out.

The race bike’s engine has to blipped toensure all moving parts get up toworking temperature quickly withoutundue stress. The 999R’s temperaturegauge will gradually creep up to 78°C. Inideal conditions the race bike will runclose to 90°C. But the rain-filledatmosphere outside is also bloody cold,so the massive water radiator has to bepartially blocked-off with a liberalapplication of duct-tape. A cold runningengine runs the risk of a cold seizure ifmotor internals like valve and piston-to-bore clearances aren’t achieved.

Riding the 999R around an unknowntrack in the wet isn’t as daunting as it

seems. Its Michelin Pilot Race tyres arevirtually slick and that means there’s nogrip and no way the bike can be given itshead. But the race bike is equipped withtyres to allow a harder ride.

With a push from behind to preservethe dry slipper clutch against the tall firstgear ratio, the race bike burbles alongpit-lane at its 4000rpm tickover. The999R needs no assistance – justreleasing the clutch lever and dialling insome revs does it.

Second gear comes by dipping theclutch lever and toeing the 999R’s gearlever upwards. It’s the same for the racebike, as I’ve chosen not to use the lever

movement-activated quick-shifter thatmomentarily kills the sparks to thesparkplugs. An on/off button on the dashoffers the option.

The gearshift pattern is reversed on therace bike. It’s easier to toe down for anupper gear when leant over – whenHodgson and Co are at full tilt there’s noroom to get a boot under the lever.

The £19,250 cost of the 999R when itwas new and available (only 800 havebeen made) gets you the most powerful V-twin road bike Ducati has ever produced.

Not surprisingly it is no slouch when itsthrottle is worked hard and 130bhpcauses the chain to tighten like an

archer’s bowstring. It’s certainly gruntyenough between 4000 and 6000rpm tospin the rear tyre in the first two gearsalong the short, sodden straights thatlink Assen’s fast curves and twists. It’s arecipe for disaster if the throttle isabused. But at the same time it’s also funbecause the engine is very responsive tothrottle input, and power output can befinely balanced.

Ducati claims the race bike’s motormakes 186bhp – 186 horses from anengine that just wants to rev and rev.Open the throttle an eighth at 5000rpmand the rear Michelin wet tyre digs intoAssen’s grip-laden surface to kick the

bike on the planet

bike forward. I deliberately open thethrottle in 1000rpm increments until therev limiter cuts in at 12,600rpm, some2100rpm more than the road bike. Andat every point the bike takes off like agreyhound after a rabbit. But that’s thenature of a V-twin – bottom andmidrange stomp make it very tractable– and one important reason why Ducati’sV-twins have been so successful in WSB.

Wrench the throttle wide open andthe F03 leaps forward with a crispnessyou would expect of a bike built for one

purpose – to win a world championship.The LCD tacho display zips across the

dash so quickly it’s easy to miss the redgearshift indicator flashing on andhitting the rev limiter. The lightenedcomponents like crankshaft and conrodsallow it to rev and keep going – perhapsfurther than the 12,600rpm limit. Thetechnicians are all secret smiles when itcomes to disclosing a true rev ceiling. Atthe same time the bike is revvingtowards the never-never zone it is beingpropelled with violent force.

While all this is going on electric

shock-like vibrations make their waythrough the clip-ons and into my hands.The more revs the faster the smallstabbing sensations. The 999R’s powerdelivery seems dull, lifeless, andinsignificant – but only by comparison.

Both bikes have gearboxes that Ducatican be proud of. In the case of the 999Rthe gears are widely spaced and I couldprobably make it round in just five ofthe six gears available. In the wetconditions the gearbox is as effective asthe front brakes at slowing the bike.Each downchange needs a hearty blip

of throttle to prevent the rear wheellocking up but it does slow the bike.

The race bike’s close ratio gearboxmeans top gear is snuck home in a shortdistance. With the wet racing tyres it’sstill possible to leave braking anddownshifts to the last moment. I saydownshifts but in reality it’s really onlyone. Pull the clutch, flick up the leverseveral times with half hearted throttleblips – to keep the gear clustersspinning – and then dump the clutch.The slipper clutch works to perfectionby allowing the clutch to slip until the

engine revs match rear wheel speed. Nowheel lock up, and no unsettled chassiswhen the bike barrels into a turn.

Through the infamous last chicaneleading on to Assen’s start/finishstraight, the 999R is a breeze. The barscan be pulled and pushed so the frontwheel steers the bike through thechicane. Not on the race bike, though. Ithas to be heaved from one side toanother by weighting the bars and thestubby pegs. It’s the same for everycorner. But when the bike is pitchedover it stays there, rigid, bang on line

and injecting enough feedbackthrough the chassis to tempt me intoincreasing entry and mid-cornerspeed, meaning big lean angles. Allthis on supposedly softer, wet ridingsuspension settings. In the dry the levelof feedback would be outrageous.

Even though the 999R’s Ohlinssuspension is firm on the road,occasionally pitching the rider off theseat, the demands of the track make itlose some of the feel that makes itgreat for charging along A and B-roads.

The rain is falling harder now and any

chance of running riot round an emptytrack is literally slipping by. There’s nochance of getting any decentstraightline speeds let alone corneringmayhem. Even if it were possible itcertainly wouldn’t be in the WSB‘madness zone’. Not even close tonoticing the wobbling front-endproblem that Hodgson and team-mateRuben Xaus had at certain tracks.

What is surprising is how easy it is toride Hodgy’s bike. The race bike’sseating position is almost identical tothe road bike. Where the 999R seats

the rider just behind the motor, I’mpitched over and slightly forward ofthe motor. Considering how ganglyHodgson is, the bars are set wide butvery close to the rider. It’s a goodstance to tuck under the double bubblescreen with room to move around in.

As I return smiles abound again inthe pit garage. The championship-winning bike is still in one piece! Thencomes the inevitable question: Whatdo I think of it? The answer is short.The 999R is a brilliant road bike; therace bike is the ultimate superbike.

WHAT HODGSON THINKS OF HIS 999

38 MOTOR CYCLE NEWS SEPTEMBER 17, 2003

ROAD TEST

MCN’S TREVOR FRANKLIN madethe most of his time in Assen togrill Neil Hodgson on his feelingsabout the bike that took him to theWSB title.

FRANKLIN:12 wins out of 20 startsso far is good going. Is that you or thebike?HODGSON: Ha-ha, um, yeah. Maybeboth. I’ve worked my socks off gettingfit mentally and physically, and Ducatikeep coming up with the goods. Putthe two together and…

FRANKLIN: Is the 999 the bestDucati yet?HODGSON: In WSB it is. But resultsdon’t tell the whole story. It hasn’tbeen all plain sailing

FRANKLIN: In what sense?HODGSON: It doesn’t handle like itshould. The front end shakes its headand this then moves through thewhole of the bike. On most bikes youcan power through it, but on this itdoesn’t stop until I shut off.

FRANKLIN: What starts it?HODGSON: Not enough testing!Seriously, we haven’t done enough onwhat is effectively a new bike.

FRANKLIN: So the 999 is revolutionwhere the old bikes were evolution?HODGSON: Yes. Look at it – it’sthinner, more aerodynamic, has adouble-sided swingarm and adifferent riding position. Sure it’s donewind tunnel tests but they can’treplicate the track. Sometimes a goodbump will set it off, other times it canbe passing someone and getting hit bya sidewind.

FRANKLIN: What would you do fornext year?HODGSON: Nothing drastic. The F03is basically very good and I’m suitedto it already. But more pre-seasontesting at different circuits would help.

FRANKLIN: And the engine?

HODGSON: To be honest it’s so longsince I rode the old bike I’m not surejust how much better the new motoris but It’s got a bit extra up top andpicks up quicker from low down.

FRANKLIN: So has the 999 more tooffer?HODGSON: Ducati have been at thisgame for a long time and know howto make a bike work. So yes, there’s alot more to come.

FRANKLIN: Not to take anythingaway from you, but it’s been said youand Ducati had an easy time this yearwith the lack of factory involvement.HODGSON: It might seem like that,what with there not being many laprecords being broken. But the bike isnew so it wasn’t easy. If there hadbeen other factory teams out therepushing hard, Ducati would haveworked harder. More time spent ondevelopment means more moneybeing spent – don’t forget Ducati isstill a business.

FRANKLIN: Colin Wright of GSEbelieves his F02 bikes would’ve givenyou a closer run with your engine (seeleft). What do you think?HODGSON: Blimey, that’s the milliondollar question. Who knows? Whatyou must remember is more powerwill make a bike faster in a straightline, but also affects handling. The oldchassis is good for the amount ofpower the F02 engine gives, but whocan say what effect more power willhave? Every setting will have to berevised – and at worst it could tie thechassis in knots.

FRANKLIN: If you go into MotoGP,would your replacement, or any otherteams be able to deal with the 999?HODGSON: I see no reason why not.Ruben’s (Xaus) done well on the bike.It just depends if the rider gets back-up from the rest of the team. TeamDucati Fila is a very experienced oneand works well.l Hodsgon as champion – page 55

Champ’s eye viewHow Neil really rates his 999...

COLIN WRIGHT isteam manager of GSERacing which runsJames Toseland andChris Walker on ’02Ducati 998 F02s.

Here’s his view on the 999 F03

“There’s no doubt the 999 is good,but how much better it is over ourbikes is difficult to assess. If the F03engine was in our chassis I think thetitle race would have been closer.

“It’s not easy to be sure asHodgson is a smooth rider, but hehas had a hard time riding that bike.There are some tracks where hegets it out of shape. Moredevelopment is needed on thechassis. Obviously Ducati know thisand will set about correcting it soon.

“But considering the bike is new,still in its infancy, Ducati have donevery well. I like to think GSE hadsomething to do with it as we putNeil on the road to success. Goodon him…”

PIER-FRANCESCOCHILI, long-time WSBracer, currently ridinga 998RS for teamPSG-1 – and the manwho set the fastest lap

in Superpole at Assen.

“FOR sure it is a pretty bike, like allDucatis. It is quick but so is my bike.And my bike it handles like it should.I think I would be just as quick if notquicker on the 999 because I ridearound most problems.

“There will have to be changes tothe bike, as with any change of rider,and I’m sure the bike will go veryquick with time spent riding.”

HODGSON leads team-mate Xaus in Assen’s second race – to the finish

HODGSON says it wasn’t as easy as it sometimes looked
