I like it.  Wonder what the insurance will be 

I'm going to guess "a whole big 'ol damn lot."

Curious about oil catch ability of the lower fairing isn't there a requirement for track bikes for that

for racing orgs, yes... i'm sure the aftermarket bodywork guys will have a solution.

Some, but mostly race orgs.   Ducati them self will have a solution so it can be raced!

Through on some Boom Tubes, a Givi topcase, and gimble cup holder and it's perfect!

I don't really like that paintjob, but overall I like it. Not sure it is better looking than previous Ducati SBK's. We'll need a few months for it to soak in and make another evaluation.

I agree, except I like the paint. Now don't get me wrong here and don't accuse me of blasphemy in the adoration drooling rush of a new model appreciation. I love this bike and especially in the Tricolore scheme.

However, it is an evolution of, and not wildly radical change of, what has come previously. The front is highly reminiscent of the 1098 series with some minor changes. The tail end treatment is the most noticeable cosmetic change. I will give all appreciation due to the technical improvements too.

But for all those folks that had a hate type attitude towards the last model but who now love this one I say phooey on you.

Not saying that the Panigale isn't a beautiful step forward, it is, but just that the previous models were pretty darn good too.  Way better looking than anyone else had to offer with the possible exception of the MV F4.

I love the 916-body bikes.

I've always liked the 999. I dig the art-deco train nose.

I was always lukewarm on the 1098 series. It felt like an apology, and looked a bit "designed-by-committee" in places. Good enough, but never really got me going.

While I have some (previously stated) niggles with parts of the 1199, the design is growing on me, and I think that as a whole it's a better looking bike than its immediate predecessor.

Such language!!

Hahaha. Best description of it yet. Now that's all I can think of.

Speaking of.... Ducati really should have done an Art Deco-esque logo for that bike. That would have been cool.
