If 1199R or S1000RR HP4 isn't enough

Duc brings out the 1199SL. A friend just told me about her customer who is on the list:

How about this new gem from Ducati - Ducati now proudly introduces its latest limited edition dream model, the highly exclusive 1199 Superleggera.

The new machine combines a precious cocktail of materials such as titanium, magnesium and carbon fibre to set the highest power-to-weight ratio of any production motorcycle. Producing more than 200hp and weighing-in at just 155kg* (341.7lb*) [*Dry weight], Ducati showcase their innovative engineering and stylish approach to design, while affirming the maxim: “Authentic Italian Performance”.

The 1199 Superleggera has been offered first to owners of the Desmosedici RR or R version Superbikes, giving them the right of first refusal to purchase the the new model. Its success has exceeded all expectations; currently, 75% of the 500 examples which will be produced, have already been sold.

The 1199 Superleggera will be displayed on the Ducati stand of the EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan, Italy in November.

No doubt. I just said Leno should have gotten one before Cruise.

Local guy here had the desmosedici and 999R so he was "allowed to spend" $65K and get the SL.

Boring.

So it's 23lb lighter than a Panigale R, and makes probably less than 10% more power, and they want to charge you double the price? I bet the HP4 still shows it up on the race track.
