1199 Panigale

The oil cooler.

i'd have thought they'd put a big one under the radiator or something...what am i missing here?

[Paul_E_D]

radiator so big there's no room is my guess. Gotta cool that beast somehow!

[Kurlon]

Putting the cooler there means no oil lines, no radiator, so it should be lighter/more compact/more crash resilient.

Sounds like music to my ears.

He was a great rider, I have watched him progress from the 250's, he was always very entertaining.
RIP Marco.

I'll reply with a hearty: Meh...I hope those are over-baffled and heavily- catalytic-convertered-DOT-approved stock pipes because that sounds as boring as hell. Something was lost between 1198 and 1199. The current Sbk sounds pretty damn good, even with OEM pipes unlike that youtube video.

What a lovely bum... almost as nice as Denny's...

[scottieducati]

Better quality pics...

[Lucas]

Are you over there?

[Eddie]

Another nice find Scottie. I found some pretty good pictures as well:

Looks beautiful!

Wow. They literally, knocked all the pieces out of the checker board.

more I see of it the uglier I think it gets.

[scottieducati]

You may have found a match made in heaven then...

more I see of it the uglier I think it gets.

Like several Ducs of the past (851/888, 999) it looks better from the arse end.

[NHFighter S]

What a horny machine!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like it more now than before. Love the entire design and can't wait to whip it. Even if I'll "never use all that power"

Very much agreed!

[jcbell1007]

Add me to the crowd that loves this bike. I think it looks awesome!! Hate to see the price tag yet. I've been lazy and haven't looked but any idea on what the price will be?

[#1 masshole]

Quoted from Hell For Leather site:
"$17,995(USD) for the standard version, $22,995(USD) for the “S” version, $23,995(USD) for “S” version with ABS and $27,995(USD) for the Italian heritage-inspired Tricolore version."

That's what I was told also.

Looks awesome & sick power to weight ratio.

Not much discussion about the frame(less) design that has not been working well for the moto-gp guys.. except stoner... If Rossi had a hard time, how will joe the plumber fair?

My guess is that joe the plumber, or you, or me, will fair pretty well on the street with this machine. The GP guys are riding on such a fine line on the track and pushing the limits so hard on these machines, that they are exposing all kinds of weaknesses that you, or I, or the majority of anyone else riding one, would ever come close to exposing while riding on the street.
