Dealer told me today the new 1299's next year to have an exhaust system like the 959, doing away with the current system to meet new emissions, anyone know more about this?
What more do you need to know? The bikes need to meet Euro 4 regs. That exhaust does the job. Ducati will have to do the same for the 1299. And yes, my dealer told me that last weekend too.
There will be an aftermarket under exhaust manufactured by a company owned by Ducati. The Exhaust will be 9.5k, but they will offer a 25-year loan on them. If you take up the offer you will be entered into a free draw with prizes ranging from exclusive stickers and mini tank pads, the top prize will be a guided tour of the new exhaust factory when they are on their summer break, where you will be given a tattoo on your butt. The tattoo will be a Ducati badge and you can choose a slogan that goes with it, the choices of slogan will be 'I've been shafted'. 'Always use genuine Ducati lube'. 'I will take anything as long as its got a Ducati badge'.
Does the full standard system of an 1199 fit a 1299? Because if they do come next year I'm going to dig the feckers out of the garage blow the dust of them and sell them for something stupid to a lob sided 1299 owner!:Cigar:
