Default Ducati Panigale 1199

My local Ducati Dealer has the been the first in the UK to get their hands on a 1199 to show off. Went down this afternoon to get a look.

All I can say is WOW!!!

That is one seriously good looking machine. We were able to get right up to it and have a really good look over it. Will be interesting to see how it goes against the beemer but it really could be a contender for me to replace the S1K with when the time comes. Although think my bank balance may have to swell some what.

Here's two pics, hopefully they work. They are from my phone so not the best plus I'm struggling to post them.

Out tonight - Panigale Night | General | Motorcycle Forums & Chat | Motorbike Forum & Chat | MCN Motorcycle News

Plus try this link. It's a guy who was there last night who's pics are far superior to mine and a lot more of them.

Don't know why only one pic is going on but probably for the best as you can see the quality is rubbish. You get the idea though, nice looking bike.

They have pushed the design game forward by a few years.

Its a great looking bike IMO, but not worth the price tag that Ducati are likely to put on it!!
Rather stay with the S1R!!

Good looking bike but my pocket book is light and we will see if it's faster than my S1R?

My friend sent me a pic of it from the motorcycle show today. It is awesome and 195 HP. How are they getting that out of a twin?

I would be amazed if it produced 180hp on the rear wheel from the Vtwin.Even 180 is a very very impresive nr.The bike will be amazing in the track for sure but the pricetag that Ducati announced is a bit .
