Customers will now have the opportunity to try for themselves this incredible motorcycle that has so far lived up to the hype and indeed exceeded the expectations of the lucky few who have ridden it so far.

The 1199 Panigale has set the benchmark for Superbikes due to its high tech engine which can claim to be the most powerful twin-cylinder production engine on the planet and forms an integral part of an innovative monocoque chassis. The chassis and the engine combine to deliver an astonishing 195hp and 165kg*, producing the highest motorcycle power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios in the world.

Technology oozes from every part of this incredible bike as a click of a button of the Ducati’s Riding Modes deliver performance with enhanced rider confidence by combining seven class-leading technologies.
