Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati 1299 Panigale S 2016

With its roaring two-cylinder and heavenly looks, it still steals the show from the other bikes in the paddock when unloaded. The electronics package seems perfect, but the chassis is a little too radical. The V2 will thrill fans but could overtax rookies in the saddle.

Great electronics package

great shift assistant

looks to die for

fast as hell in expert hands

Exhausting on corner exit

narrow rev band

strong heat radiation to the rear end
