ive been anxiously awaiting for months to see the 1199 be released. Not too radically different from their current lineup besides those big nostrils on the front and im not sure how i feel about the tail. I love what they did with the exhaust though

2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale range bows at EICMA

 

I've always been a fan of the undertail exhaust but I really do like that as well. That is 1 flipping sweet bike.

 

yeah ive always liked the undertail exhausts the best they just look like thats how theyre supposed to be. Ive hated how most manufacturers have switched back to the side exhaust, at least for the 1000s, they just look awkward. I feel like what they did there is the only proper way to do a side exit exhaust, super clean. Thats why i like the taylormades. But having it on both sides like that is badass.

 

wow, that is simply amazing

 

tail to me screams 2009 zx6 mixed with 2011 r6

 

i see new gix tail mixed with zx6 tail... but to each his own...


the thing i like the most is the 361 lbs! hell yes


that's 50lbs less then a gsxr600

 

...combined with 195 hp....should make for one hell of a ride.

And i definitely see the resemblance to the new kawi tails.

 

ya.... that's going to not go over well on a traffic stop...

"but officer, it has 195hp and only weights 361lbs. how do you expect me to keep the front wheel down?"

 

you can always hope they drool all over the ticket and it becomes unreadable?

 

Sexy...
