Inside the motor, there is a mixture of R and RS parts. The gearbox is Ducati Corse, just like the 998RS, 999RS and 1098RS. The crank, rods and pistons are production R, as are the The rockers and (titanium) valves. The cams have identical lift compared to the road bike, but have far greater duration. The heads are 4-way CNC machined. At the time, there were very few 4-way CNC machines in Europe that could create the very accurate
The flywheel is identical to the 999RS item and is massively lightened. The alternator is much smaller than the road item, needing to produce less power than the road item. Again, it is 999RS.
This bellypan is interesting. The sponsors logos indicate that it was used in 2006.
Inside the fairing, it is possible to make out Nannellis name above the heatshielding, but in the bottom corner, the tam has written Easton. This bike was built by Carrachi for Nannelli in '06, but when Chili crashed in WSB, Nannelli went to World Supers and Stuart Easton took Nannellis seat on this bike.
