http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/ducati-1199rs-panigale/

so, here is a weird question...why do they deliver a bike like this to a racing customer with parts that are pretty much automatically going to get taken right off...

parts I refferring to are like the front plastics, those forks and calipers( since they don't look like the spec I see on most SBK's), probably but not certainly the exhaust, and god knows what else a racing customer like JHP would do....

Forks look like SBK spec to me. Undecided

and the only reason those plastics (er, carbon fibers?) need to be taken off is to paint 'em.

the rear body is carbon for sure, the front looks more like plastic than carbon to me...

the forks didn't look SBK spec as I seem to recall most of them having a telemetry rod behind the stantion....but since the new bike has electronic suspension, maybe that isn't needed?

from all the additional pics i've seen, the upper, lower, tail, and fenders are all the same material.

could be, but those rods generally aren't part of the suspension, they're part of the data acquisition package. the teams will install their own system once they get the bike.

for reference, here's a pic of checa's bike from last weekend's phillip island race:
