The Ducati 999R is a vehicle in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition and Midnight Club: Los Angeles.
Description[]
The 999R is the most powerful version of Ducati's 999 series sports bikes.
In Midnight Club: Los Angeles, the 999R has the highest and maximum value for it's handling. However, that does not mean the bike is the best handling vehicle in it's group, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X are still the best vehicles in Group 3. Keep a watchful eye of where you're going, because hitting any traffic cars in anyway, above 180 mph will cause a crash. As with all bikes in the game, avoid hitting buses, trucks and stationary traffic like cars at traffic lights or parked cars, which can knock the rider off the bike and will take longer to respawn unlike with cars. As with all bikes, using the special ability Zone can help to ride the bike through traffic and avoid buses and trucks. Sometimes, when the 999R does hit any traffic cars, the bike may accidentally go into a wheelie even if you haven't activated the wheelie function in the game.

Midnight Club: Los Angeles[]
The 999R is a high-performance sports bike in Group 3, being a low-end A-Class vehicle at stock level. The bike, offers exotic-like acceleration with sharper turning, albeit at a lower top speed than both Mitsubishi Lancer and Evolutions, to balance out it's major weakness of being tricky to master at first, as well as being an extremely fragile vehicle, as well as knocking the rider off each crash, and taking longer to respawn after every despawn.
Due to the bikes' stats, certain users may purchase this vehicle if they find difficulty with a certain race before unlocking Group 4 vehicles. However, due to being priced at the same cost as the Mazda RX-7 (FD) and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR, some would hold out until the Group 4 vehicles are unlocked. Most would eventually switch to the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 or Ducati 1098R if they can handle the Sport Bikes properly and avoid crashing them.

Trivia[]
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition[]
- The 999R's price was increased in the REMIX version of the game, while the Ducati SS1000's price was decreased (this is evident by either selling the said bike or winning the Hotlanta Tournament with a full garage).
- Along with the Aprilia RSV Mille 1000R Factory and Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R, the 999R can also encounter Gemballa F355 or Lamborghini Diablo VT opponents when fully upgraded, though when driving the higher-end Exotics, they only race against themselves or the A-Class Sport Bikes.
Midnight Club: Los Angeles[]
- The 999R with level 1 upgrades gets the same opponent selections as the level 1 Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster, Saleen S7 Twin Turbo or Ford Shelby Cobra Concept, in which, it's level 1 opponent selection on Medium matches that of the maxed out Group 4 sport bikes.
- When maxed, the 999R gets the same opponent selections as the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (C6) and Ford GT.
Midnight Club: L.A. Remix[]
- Despite being listed with the highest stats in the garage, the 999R is outperformed by the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34) and Nissan 350Z Roadster.
- This is due to it's stats being copied from Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition.
- Of those, the Skyline is also available in the Los Angeles career, while the 350Z is only available in the Tokyo career.
