Looks like it won't be in WSB next year

[Seb]

Depends how the GP12 goes I suspect, if it's another uncompetitive disaster then I imagine that a WSB move would be pretty feasible. All it'd need on top of that would be a Bayliss wildcard

Saying that, I'm semi surprised that Dorna are not trying to push the WSB grid towards CRT rules to integrate both series tbh.

One of the dealers released some power to weight figures recently and it's going to be mental!!

195 bhp and 179kg wet!!!

Be interesting to see if the standard version comes in at that weight for a not too silly price. Power doesn't seem too amazing considering the 1200cc - I still want the Japs/Germans/Italians to give a 1200cc 4cylinder supersport bike a go .

A) Well done, you've just invented the GSXR1100, but not as good.

B) I said supersport not superlardy!

[rac3r]

Those figures are for the standard bike apparently

Yea, because turbos make bikes handle so much better .

GSXR1100s were pretty popular for turbo/drag bikes before the Busa came along.

At present the WSB ducatis have the lowest top speed.
Lower than BMW, Kawasaki. RSV4 R1 Honda.

Checa has just qualified fastest.....again.

Neil Hodgson said Troy Bayliss is testing the Panigale but wouldn't be surprised if they keep using the 1198 if it rides like a dog(or words to that effect)

Probably one of the reasons they won't enter it in WSB until 2013

The bike looks really small. I was planning on getting one in late 2012 or early 2013 when an 's' version might have come out. But going by those pics I think it might be a bit too wee for me.
Will obviously need to test ride it first to see how it fits, I would never just buy it because it's a Ducati though.
