1199 Photo leak!

[NorDog]

that's 388lbs wet... pretty crazy.

Reminds me of being back in my younger days and looking around the bar at last call.

For comparison, what does a 1098 or 1198 weigh wet?

447 lbs (wet; 2009 1198) according to this article.

For comparison Ducati claims the 2009 1198 weighs 377 lbs dry. So the bike picked up 70 lbs between dry and wet. Hmmm.

well, oil + coolant + fuel + brake fluid might account for a lot of that.   i think "dry" means "really really really dry"

Agreed. May not even have a battery! 

Anyway, if a 70 lb dry-wet gain is reasonable and the 1199 really does weigh 388 wet...then it will weigh somewhere around 320 dry, which is phenomenal!

oooh, i absolutely bet it does not include battery too


i should weigh my project 2vSBK in this manner down the road, y'know, when its "finished" (if such a date should ever arrive).

  Would help explain the supposed price increase.

Gasoline is 6lbs per gallon, so a 4 gal tank would yield 24 right there.

Batteries are around 8-10 lbs

Coolant capacity is about 1 gal and weighs about the same as water: 7 lbs

Not sure where the other ~30 lbs would come from.

Also engine oil, fork oil, and brake fluid are not included when the manufacturers calculate dry weight. Anything to get that number down.

So does the Pangale have 195 rear wheel hp or is it 195 at the crank?

If I recall correctly, 195 at the crank.

[thought]

If I recall correctly, 195 at the crank.

so about 175.5 rwp if you're estimating 10% loss

[Travman]

So what does the 1198 have at the rear wheel?
