1199 Panigale

I wonder if they are still gonna dump the trellis for there new frameless moto gp design. Seeing as they're going back to a frame design for the gp bikes soon.

:drool:

fuck. me

Yeah there's a buncha "leaked" pics around by now. Still don't like the white with red(sorry Tully) reminds me of the R1.
If speculation serves to be true is will be the frameless design.

on the looks side, it seems to be similar to CBRs/GSXRs/Ninjas, especially the tank and tail. Only thing different is the headlight.

nah I know man. I was just poking fun at the money side of it.
Point taken

yeah

... talking about money, I think 20k for a ducati sportsbike is not bad, compared to what they used to be a few years ago.

these days even the japanese liter bikes are around 15k

Not sure. Could be to add weight maybe data acquisition? Your guess is as good as mine.

tool kit...

Wow. Now I know how I'd look in leathers... :eek:

sure he is taking the bike home, all car and motorcycle companys give bikes to a small group of workers to ride to collect data, to know how the bike feel on a street ride, how easy is to fill the tank, park the bike, light, turns lights, body position, to know how the bike feel on a daily ride

Looks like that suit is about to explode.
