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

The very first 2014 Ducati out of the gate is the brand new, 2014 Ducati Superbike 899 Panigale!

Good, bad or ugly? You decide. Ducati is listening.

Dead sexy in every way!!!!!!!!

Not for me.

Fail.









Kidding. What's the point of posting a bike as inarguably cool as this one? It's

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.

Where's the "meh" button...???

Just kidding voted cool...

Awesome, one of the best looking and best handling sport bikes ever.

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.

Dude you're back. How's life treating you?
