Ducati 1199 Panigale 2014

Since 2012, the 1199 Panigale has been an absolutely trend-setting concept that I believe will follow in the footsteps of the legendary 916.

Most powerful V2

It may well be that the market for 1000cc superbikes is shrinking, and it may also be true that the current price structure reserves this motorbike category for a very elite class. But for those who value the greatest possible acceleration and the highest fun factor, the Suzi is a comparatively good value.

Pleasant, cosy engine

powerful transmission

sporty, comfortable seating

light-footed handling

well-tuned chassis.

Radically close-cut geometries

technically somewhat improvable.
