Competition is the platform on which Ducati has always challenged and measured itself. It is a discipline for designers and engineers and the bedrock of motivation for a company in which the constant desire for victory has become a way of life. The Superquadro is the most powerful twin-cylinder production engine on the planet and is destined to power the new Ducati 1199 Panigale with absolute performance perfection.

Amazing work by the engineers.

twin-cylinder milestone of 195hp and torque to 98.1 lb-ft (13.5kgm) with user-friendly Riding Modes

major services have been extended to 24,000km (15,000 miles)

Damn it!!! These guys are giving hard time to Germans & Japs!!!

So, the Germans started a trend which now cannot be stopped. Second the ZX10R and then this Ducati...!

But its great seeing such a tremendous development. And I believe that there shouldn't have been an "R" model anyways all this time. Why make something junior (1098S) compared to the range, when it is in the same category.. (?)

Just one simple competition screwing bike. No junior editions, simply the best effort of Ducati packed in one. That's what Panigale is. And I love it!

Wow! One of the best Ducatis ever built. Seems like it can be another 999 for Ducati. Let's see when and at what cost it makes its way to India??
