It's called the Superlegerra...$70k usd, super trick, Akra exhaust, magnesium air box & wheels, carbon everywhere...limited to 500! I was told 200 to begin with but this wasn't right apparently, unsure if it's Oct or Nov that the EICMA is but that's when it's announced/unveiled & you're right, it's by invitation!
tx moly ... good news ... just need to get the magnesium frame to be up to date... LOL .... very curious to the AKRA... if they start developping their line , then that could be very interesting ...
Don't think it does have to be a different chassis for homologation does it? Look at the 996 when foggy needed a bigger airbox....
there is defo somehing on the cards..... ( found this design from 2008, even looks like a panigale - and the pani was being penned since 2007/2008.... )
It's still Panigale based Ian, that's everything I know though! I'm lucky enough to have my name on 1 so I get given little "teasers", the only pic I've seen is the 1 on the other forum with the Italian link but even Zoot doesn't know if that's how it'll look! My mrs thinks I'm nuts spending lots of money on something I haven't got a clue about & haven't seen but I think we all know it'll be the bollocks however it is!
I'm crap at computers mate but it's on Ducati.org, forum, Panigale, Ducati announces new Panigale thread, page 1 post 37 by W17...says "google translate". Press on that mate, sorry for the hassle!
Here's the link; ESCLUSIVO: LA PANIGALE 1199 RR GIRA NEI TEST A NARDO', ECCO COSA CAMBIA. : MOTOCICLISTI.BLOG - Passione per la velocità - It's a blog, looks highly speculative to me - it's the same copy posted by the OP in this thread. Again, this can't be a bike for homologation into WSBK if it has a titanium frame.
Titanium frame not allowable under WSBK rules is it.....? I've also read it will have a magnesium frame..... Fak, i'm dubious about that too..... It should either be carbon or bring back the trellis fame and add a bit of Vorsprung Dork teknic..... I fackin hope details come out SOOOOON as its doin my head in..... I got opportunity to get Desmosedici that just had a new engine put in it.... asking £25k for it!
Apologies guys, also meant to say I am going to EICMA - so if any of you want pics/info, let me know and I will take/ask.
