A picture of the newest Ducati in testing. Looks pretty sexxxy....and how long is that frikking swing arm?!?
[thumbsup] Weird looking machine...more like the RSV4...cant wait for details, bodywork and spec...! Waited too long for the revision to 1098....the real one!
Thanks for sharing....the picture doesn't make me sport a woody ;D...can't wait for more details
The only thing you can depend on is that what you see is not what the new bike will look like, exactly. Ducati is pretty good at hiding details during testing. They'll install dummy body panels, false covers, and sometimes even false components to keep people from seeing things they don't want seen.
Standby. ;)
Here's a better shot of the STREET version of the bike. The first photo is the competition version sans lighting.
http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-new-bikes/ducatis-2012-superbike-in-detail/18162.html (http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-new-bikes/ducatis-2012-superbike-in-detail/18162.html)
Notice exhaust under the bike (not under the tail), the long single sided swingarm, the stubby tail, and the complete lack of a trellis frame. There are aluminum castings to hold the swingarm pivot and rearsets, but that's all I see. Also note the "vertical", though in this case we should probably say "rearward" exhaust exiting the cylinder directly beneath the rider's ass. Sexy 10 spoke wheels, too! Also note the shock in a horizontal position next to the rider's left leg.
Lots of differences from current models!
So far, HIGHLY impressed with the engineering.. I think this is going to be revolutionary for Ducati in the way the XX9 series had HOPED to be (as opposed to the XX9 "Redvolution"). The clean-slate redesign may be just what the brand needs to get back into kicking everyones ass in WSBK again. I cant wait to see more. The plate mount/turn signals do look like somewhat of an afterthought though. One can only hope they use some [bacon] in the bloodline.
Couple things: 1- Article mentions the possibility of the bike being on the brakes, but the writer missed that the chain slack is on top clearly indicating deceleration. 2- Article mentions the 'un-loved' 999, and the rider's wearing 999 racing leathers! [laugh]
That, without a doubt, is the sexiest MVGSXRR1CBRKTMBMW I have ever seen.
Notice I left Bussa out. Ah, What the heck BUSSA!!!

get rid of the queer valentino number and that this is hot...looks like a mix of the 1198 and the Desmo
I do like the looks of the machine but I wouldn't want to be first year's 'test driver'
hoping that all the issues are ironed out.

Ooooh, want one!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if that is the same seemless transmission that caused the false neutrals and put Rossi into pits at turn 1 twice in Indy?
Really love the look of this beast though. hot

2012 NEW Ducati 1199 Superbike Panigale is coming (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kktNDnplb1k#)
The new bike is to be officially called the 1199 Panigale, for the neighborhood in which the Ducati factory is located....Borgo Panigale.
http://www.ducati.com/1199_panigale/index.do (http://www.ducati.com/1199_panigale/index.do)
my nipples just got hard [Dolph]
Something else just got hard. [laugh]
I was at PJ's at lunchtime and PJ told me that anyone who wants an 1199 Panigale should get his or her $1000 transferrable deposit in as soon as possible. Delivery will begin in the March/April time frame and will be made in order of deposit receipt...so the sooner you make a deposit, the sooner you'll receive your new bike.
Price for the base model will be in the $18k range. The "S" model will be more, of course. There will also be a "Tricolore" model for a premium over the "S" model.
Get 'em while they're hot.
i'll keep that in mind when I win the lottery [roll]

I'm loving the specs on this engine. a 4.41" bore?? Thats HUGE! Bigger than Big Block V8 HUGE. 11,000 RPM? out of a 1200CC Twin?? Awesome! Nevermind the HP and Torque ratings.. We had to expect those to be big numbers (for Ducati to be in any way competitive..) Cam Chains.. Good call. 15k Valve intervals? Good call. Oversquare (and them some) Good call. A decompressor system so a smaller starter could be used?? Holy crap thats sweet. (yeah yeah.. so Chopper S&S engine have decompressors.. nevermind those.. ;D ) Now all I'm left wondering is.. Will it fit in my bike?? :'(

I'm on the fence about this bike...seen a number of concerns reading the European forums who had a chance to ride them :(

Quote from: ducducgooseme on May 07, 2012, 08:33:08 AM
Zaster, what have you heard? Curious minds want to know!!
There was a big stink about the bike smoking quite a bit during the break-in period. ;D
Several guys reported that the bike engine would cut out at a certain gear and RPM and that
they could replicate it at will.
One reported a non start situation after he had the bike for less than 24 hrs.
The dyno tests don't seem to support Ducati's claims when it comes to HP.
...and as always, Ducati is very slow to respond or to provide answers [bang]
Here in Asia they launched it with the Diesel Monster. In typical style here, they closed off a block by the Olympic park & had a Local team guy haulin' ass through the streets. It was pretty cool to see. As far as problems & recalls are concerned, Is anyone even slightly surprised that a first year redo of a Ducati wouldn't be cursed? Me, I'm just sad that they had to "Jap" it all up, hence the magazines praising it now. The headlines should read, "Welcome to the dark side & out of the dark ages, Pasta Rocket" Don't get me wrong, Suzuki geometry & "Alumasizing'" (my new word) with the Buell thought process of "keep it down low" are all great things, but if I wanted that, I would go get one. I'm also guessing they have the Bugs/Demons worked out by now. Wait...not Buell...They squashed that bug. It's kinda' like Porsche making SUV's & 4-door sedans...WTF. That's not evolution, that's desperation. Ferrari should just put out a double cab pick-up & get it all over with.
That all said, The 2012 R1 LE left me shakin', very much like the last night I got to cuddle with DDGM before heading overseas. Ahhhh memories.
King, I left you drained, not just shakin big boy.
muah
zaster, keep me posted on the bike rumors. I havent seen many English sites with poor reviews. I will most likely wait a year to get it then...let them get the kinks out.

That's my plan unless I come across a great deal in the meantime.
Factory suspension or linkage set up seems to be an issue. The factory setting is F and many prefer P.
Hard starting while the engine is at operating temp seems to be another concern.
Doing a test ride when PJ's gets the demo will help my decision.
Interesting, the two German bikes take top honors ;D

Buddy of mine bought a tricolore panigale. Road it home from the dealership last week and had them come pick it up. Says below 8k rpm its a POS...said a Monster 800 had more get up and go. Above 9K it was a beast.
hmmmm
That's why I decided to do a test ride to see if all the hoopla is fact or hype.
The horsepower claims are exaggerated (not that I need it) and I just heard of
a soft paint issue reported by several people.
Did you like the ride overall?

The rider is saying that the Panigale feels more like an I4 than a V2 when it comes to the power curve :-\

Thanks, but, you know- Old dog, new tricks, not gonna happen...
Just took the PJ's loaner Panigale for a test ride up the crest. Very sweet machine! My Supersport is a hammer, the Panigale is a surgical instrument.
It felt very planted the whole ride, even when the rear broke loose a bit rolling out of a corner (I think the traction control took over), the suspension, the power, and handling are phenomenal, the engine is fairly flat until the upper RPM range - a little bit of studdering at 5-6K, and the seat gets hot. The bike feels smaller than the SS and has a shorter reach to the grips, wind protection is less than the SS, but smoother with absolutely no buffeting. The digital readout is easy to read.
Overall a very easy bike to ride.

I know someone (local to the board here and NOT me) who uttered the following phrase today:
"Get me a price on (misc. aftermarket Panigale equipment) with a base-model, and I'll take it."

Ok. Un-stickied.

The polls used to give the option to let each voter vote more than once, but I couldn't make it do that. Maybe in lieu of Boobies I should have posted....Hells Yes...and Boobies!

Fixed.
Vote early. Vote often!

I do appreciate everyone's concern to see me riding a 1199 ;D
Got to ride an S (finally).
Some thoughts:
The tank design and how the legs fit around it are a great improvement to the 1098s. I felt more "one with the bike" than I did on my 1098s.
I missed hearing the clutch. :-\
Power delivery down low wasnt as bad as I have heard. Granted, my 1098s had one down on the sprocket, so its not a true apples to apple comparison, but overall I feel the 1098s has more lower range.
Get above 7k on the rpm and hold-the-make the beast with two backs-on!! It is a beast in the upper rev limits. Really a powerful bike.
Overall, I think its a beauty. I will have one in the year or two for sure....after Karl [laugh]
New for 2013 and no ugly rabbit ears ;D :

That picture shows nothing that I can identify as mirrors or front turn signals...so it can't come into the US like that.
Meanwhile, Lux Machine is building some butch looking mirror block off plates with integrated turn signals! Try http://luxmachine.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html (http://luxmachine.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html) for a peek.
Add a bar end mirror on the left and, voila! A whole new look for the front of the bike.
The holes next to the windscreen look like mirrors are missing from there. Maybe they took them off for a photo op? Or to show that they're easy to take off for a track day?

Hey Karl- you'll be able to pick up an 1199 cheap once Cloner's "R" comes in!!!

That's exactly what I did on my 1098. Took off the fugly mirror/turn signal, installed "mirror block off plates" with led turn signals, & CRG bar-end mirrors. Not only looks better, but is also much more effective!

I think they were pointing out that mirror block-off plates are included on the "R".

Thanks for sharing Karl! This thing is a beast...truly scares me! [evil] How do you ride on the ground when hitting the red line means turning the flaps ON? ;D [roll] It was exciting to watch, love the heavy bass during engine braking, love the gear indicators, lap timers, red line bars, love the POWER! Hopefully, I can ride behind few of your (current and aspirants) Panigale's next summer... [Dolph]
Since I can't ride in below freezing temps I thought I share this:
Ducati VS Ferrari (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX1lx4PRDBw&feature=watch-vrec#)
Not much activity around here?! [roll]
I like the graphics on the new Panigale R! :P
Here's a good reading on the assembly line of the Panigale:

Same here JJ since the temps have been near freezing during the day.
Just need another six weeks in NM and we are good to go [thumbsup]
