The 848 produces 140hp, how is the extra 50cc going to get it to 155hp with the same 11,500rpm rev limit? Just on efficiency or are they lying? Either way. I bet it's blooming lovely! I bought an 848 cause I just fear it's going to be £13k, and I don't fit on the pan
Well mine chipped made 139 the same day that ot made 131 with a dp flash at the wheel. So manf could easy make 150 claim, given 10% loss from crank to road...and they claim 195 (?) for Pani but most tested are not much more than 165
does it matter when the back end looks like your grandma's axe hole? It'll be a great bike and they'll sell loads, rightly so.
Entirely different over-square engine with everything lightened, less friction and better performance than the old L-twin engine? Maybe?
The italian mags reckon it will be days until we get confirmation of what Ducati are planning. Looks like the "899" is what its going to be called. Looking forward to seeing it, have they got anything else, I know there were spy shots of a 2014 Panigale 1199 floating about.
the se is more than enough for me, but to be honest got nothing to compair it to,first sports bike i have been on in 20 years, i suspect it will take a season or two to get to grips with it.
Nrw pics !! Check these pics out from Italian website. Apparently one of their readers snapped these shots. Showa big piston forks anyway....
