    Latest crap from Ducati: 1199 Panigale

    Starbucks lovers, your next ride:

    stolen article:

    http://ducati.com/1199_panigale/index.do

    Ducati has decided to christen their new Superbike ‘1199 Panigale’ (Panigale is the area where Ducati is located in Bologna - Borgo Panigale) and this teaser video reveals very little of the new bike (the so-called spy shots have taken care of that) as everything is purposely out of focus so they continue the teaser build up ahead of the 2011 EICMA show, November 10th to 13th.
    What is also interesting, despite our belief on the contrary, Ducati will not be immediately debuting the 1199 Panigale in the World Superbike championship next season, but in the 2012 FIM Superstock Championship, this way they can solve any glitches that the new bike may have.













    Press Release:
    “Ducati officially announces the naming of its new generation 2012 Superbike as the “Ducati 1199 Panigale” and confirms that the unveiling and first public display will be at the EICMA International Motorcycle Show in Milan 10-13 November.

    “Having attracted massive, world-wide interest during the machine’s many test phases, the exciting new model is also now officially named in an emotional video released on the Italian manufacturer’s website, Ducati.com, and Ducati Motor Holding’s official Youtube channel.

    “The wait to discover the incredible performance, innovative design and ground-breaking technologies of the new 1199 Panigale will continue for just a few more weeks.

    “Pronounced “Pan-ee-gah-lee”, the new model breaks with Ducati’s Superbike tradition by adding a name to its 1199cc engine capacity (referred to as eleven-nine-nine), making a significant and warm association to its historic roots in the Borgo Panigale area of Bologna.

    “In an Italian territory known as “Motor Valley” and where high performance and racing runs through the veins of its passionate people, Ducati now underline their pride in being world ambassadors for the “Made in Italy” title by immortalizing their home town in the name of the new Superbike.

    “Developed as a true sport bike with competition in its DNA, the Ducati 1199 Panigale will first see racing action in the 2012 FIM Superstock Championship and, in accordance with the factory’s development program, make its debut in World Superbike in 2013.

    “The two-stage introduction enables Ducati additional development for the Superbike version of the 1199 Panigale, appropriate to the more open regulations of the World Superbike category, and in addition help control costs for World Superbike teams who can continue to compete with a 2012 version of the 1198 with technical support from Ducati Engineers.”

    That's an exhaust Eric Buell would be proud of...

    That's a nice looking bike. How I'd like to see it painted:

    Formerly MRA #211 - High Precision Racing

    "A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

    Although I suspect the Ducati faithful would like this better:

    He certainly would......if he could even make one as sexay as that instead of the "stolen off of a '70's dune buggy" exhaust look.

    ^^ Yeah... I know there's a reason for it, but the little micro mufflers on the 1190 do scream "sand buggy VW".

    Yeah, I just like RWB colors together on a bike so it's not a USA (or France, Russia, Norway, Czech Republic, Cambodia, Iceland, etc, etc) statement. But, now that I think about it, that might be a nice paint scheme for them to do at Laguna...
