New Ducati Panigale

One other thing what's with those mirrors, they'd be coming off, serious after thought. Looking at your elbow instead would be better.

Even the name is odd----when I first glanced at it I thought it was Ducati Pringle

What do you guys think of it?

no. give me a blade or a r1 anyday,and from the ducati's ive seen on a dyno the do seem to exaggerate the hp.dowt it puts out much more then the new blade,
anycase once you get over 150hp and 170mph why would you need more,
and as to running costs my blade cost sod all to keep on the road and the engine is most probily good for a 100k+.whereas the ducati will cost you even if it doesnt leave the shed,as in cambelts every 12 to 18 months,no as a weekend track bike it might suit some,but i couldn't live with any thing that extreme for day to day use,and as to 15k price tag *uck me that is alot of money to spend on a bike

I love the looks even if the tail end is a bit too RSV4-esque. However, £15k for something that will be about as useful on the road as a helicopter ejector seat... I'll pass thanks.

So, the black thingy is exhaust related, and theres me thinking that is was either to store your handbag or to attach the parent pole

Its f*cking horrible.

916 is iconic, 749 / 999 stand out from the crowd, that thing is just wrong on many levels.

I'll wait until I see it in the flesh. Anyway I'm not in the market for one.

Out of interest is anyone on the 'Org about to splash 15k on a new bike? Fair play if you are! And buy what you want not what the 'Org wants!!

!5k
Eight years ago you could buy a brand new litre class rocket for half that.If you shopped around and bought last years model you could buy one for under 6.5k.I know cos I did.No wonder they dont sell many these days.

I love it. I want one, actually I don't, I would rather wait for the inevitable smaller engine version.

I'm generally a big Ducati fan though.

I love it!

in tri-colour though...
