I went with: AWESOME

Yes, I know Ducati sportbikes are starting to become "plastic fantastic" but the engine they used in the 2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale really got me to vote it Awesome. The most powerful V-Twin engine ever created? Well done Ducati! Maybe this will leverage other manufacturers to have a look again at the V-Twin over an inline-4 (it would be nice to see more variety).

Overall, the look of the 2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale is pretty cool, it has a real nice flow to it and the design is quite captivating, even the single sided swing arm and wheel design as top notch. BTW, I watched a program on the Sachs rear suspension unit it uses, very advanced and at a cost of £2500 each!

I just had to vote Awesome, there was no other option. This manufacturer's quote says it all: "Everything about this bike communicates power, elegance and agility."

It's poured liquid look is stunning and the fact that it's nearly a 1200 V-twin... there is no arguing that this bike is awesome.
