1199 Photo leak!

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.

Wow, I know that is a promotional video so the bike is supposed to look good, but it looks awesome.  The pictures of the tri-color painted Panigale look terrible compared to the red one in the video.  The fairings are more organic and rounded and they match the tank better than what was shown in those earlier tri-color pics.

The only thing I could nit-pick right now is the muffler might look better if it was coated black.

true that.

agree the red allows the fairings to be more fluid.

Understatement. It looks sick in red. 0:17

I like the wheels with the three sets of three spokes.  These are a little different from what we've seen.

ktm duke style belly exhaust is nice!

Random observations:

It has more personality than the 1098-series.

The top, partially-detached part of the side fairings adds some needed visual weight to the fuel tank.

Those vents in the tail are highly pointless, and seem like a vestigial feature from when Ducati superbikes had underseat exhaust.

Looks much better dressed all in red, as others have stated. I like the blacked-out swingarm.

Curious what aftermarket exhaust makers can do with it. I think it'd look pretty cool with the cans covered up, and only the exhaust ports peeking out from the bodywork.

The unpainted black plastic bits look cheap, and probably only exist to provide a reason to buy carbon fiber DP bits.

The more I study the pictures, the better I'm liking it.

That tank looks tiny sitting on top of the bike

Good to see in the development video that it will be aluminum

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

[muskrat]

I like it.  Wonder what the insurance will be
