1199 Photo leak!

[NorDog]

Cool.  Thanks Ducatiz.

[Speedbag]

what are the service intervals on that outboard? 

Haha, sort of what I was getting at.

I picture a pissed-off fisherman sitting in the middle of a lake, swapping out timing belts and checking valves.

Buell style exhaust is awesome. always loved that, so stealth. really shows off the rear wheel.

[Povidius]

The more I see this bike, the more I'm convinced I'm going to buy one on impulse. Damn, I really need to stop looking at these threads.

[Raux]

Might change you mind about impulse purchases

Maybe making room for a 2V Sport Classic 1100 with 1198 frame tech?

maybe hold off on frameless / no-trellis ducati superbikes until they can prove its competitive.  this current GP bike is a real turd.

Getting closer and closer each day to just walking away from Ducati...

Anybody else notice the fork in that last pic?

Is that the R version?

[junior varsity]

Perhaps, or the S-version sports gas-charged forks. Either way, I expect the base model to cost more, and likely substantially more than the 1198.

I am still hoping the "extreme" and other names (even superquadrata) do not make it to final production for the model's name - I see no reason to discontinue the number scheme currently employed.

851/888/926
916/955/996/998   748/853
999          749
1098/1198          848
1199 (or other relevant displacement #)

I seriously doubt they'll use gas charged forks on a production model. The cost would be astronomical.

[thought]

pretty sure that's them testing out the wsbk setups.

and i actually understand them pricing the 1199 so high.  if you think about it, that's about what a diavel/mts1200 runs and those have been selling really well for them.  it would make sense that their largest sbk would also run that same amt.  i just hope they are not overestimating the sbk market as the other bikes did really well for them because they were greenfield market segments for them.
