The new 899 Panigale – Supermid perfection...

The introduction of the highly-anticipated Ducati 899 Panigale provides a new way to access the exclusive world of Ducati Superbikes with a “Supermid” version designed to provide the thrill of the new generation flagship model with the refined character of an everyday streetbike.

The brand new Superquadro engine features a revised bore and stroke for a broad power delivery, producing 148hp (109kW) with a torque of 73lb-ft (10.1kgm). The super-smooth power unit continues to be a fully stressed member of the innovative Panigale monocoque construction, achieving both an outstanding power-to-weight ratio and ride-enhancing agility with a dry weight of 169kg (372.5lb). An 1199 silhouette underlines the family DNA, while the Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) and the fully integrated Riding Mode technologies of Ride-by-Wire, triple stage ABS, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) and Engine Brake Control (EBC) continue the benchmark ingenuity introduced with the award-winning Panigale.

Ducati’s constant pursuit of perfection now offers all-round performance for connoisseurs with an authentic and stylish way to enter the world of high performance. The 899 Panigale is available in traditional Ducati red with black wheels or a stunning arctic white silk with red wheels.

The best of both worlds

I went with: Awesome

373lbs, 148hp, Ducati red and swoopy styling... that's pretty well puts it in my awesome book. This bike would sure move on a WOT. But not sure about the riding position or the seat padding. Most likely a real track bike vs a road bike, but if you can afford it, then why not? Even if it just sits (for shame) in your living room.

It looks cool. Not sure if I would want to do a SS1000 on it, though. But if someone gave it to me and said "Ride it on weekends whenever you feel like it." I'd say yes.

Then I'd remember I have 4 kids and no time on weekends to ride it anyway.
