EDIT: It's here now and stuff what I said before, It's awesome!!!!!

Drooling

The Official release is tomorrow but there is a leaked article of it already from a French magazine.

Here's what someone on another forum has got from the article:

Quote:
The text from the leaked article suggests the bike wil be equipped with DES (Ducati Electronic Suspension), DQS, DDA, DTC plus selectable engine maps. Also as has already been mentioned it is the worlds first bike to employ LED headlights. No bulbs all round. The instrumentation is similar to the Diavel with a colour TFT screen and allegedly the bike has adjustable steering geometry.

As for prices they do not seem too far off those of the 1198 series. Not sure how much the base model is but the S model appears to be priced at €17990, with the tricolore Corse model chiming in at €22990 euros, which seems a lot, unless it has some extra goodies. All the models supposedly come with ABS as well. There will be three models launched: 1199, 1199S and the 1199S Corse. The data aquisition system (DDA) has also been improved and from what I can gather, is a simple USB key/stick that plugs in to a much more accessible port on the bike.

I think it will produce mixed reactions and will probably be one of those bikes that, unlike the 916 or 1098, is not immediately comfortable to the eye until you see it in the flesh. For once though it does appear to have mirrors that you can actually use, albeit for the fact they look like antennae! The rear tail unit also has some rather trick looking LED twin lights and I believe the number plate hangar as well as the mirrors are quick release, for track day afficionados.


I've seen the pictures and I'm not sure to be honest, I'll reserve judgement for now...

I expect it will sell by the truck load due to:
Being 'exclusive' (expensive)
Being red
Winning WSBK this year

I'm curious to see if they get the same front end feel problems they have in motogp when racing it in wsbk.

It may have all the stats on paper but who rides them in the every day world or even come close to it?

Another meh from me too.

Dash view

Official Launch in a couple of hours so hopefully get more info. This is like the 999 again, will be great on the track but the 'purists' don't like it Laughing

The electronic suspension is the only think I see of interest - and just because it hasn't been put on a sports bike as stock before.

I like the idea more for being able to adjust it on the fly on track - much easier to tell the difference between two settings by being able to press a button and try the other setting the next lap, rather than having to wait an hour for your next session.

Hopefully BMW will 'catch up' with this for next year, as they already have the technology on their heavier bikes.

It'd also be interesting to see this combined with the BMW 'part of the lap' fucntion - so you could actually have different settings for different corners on a track!

lol, i guess wont know till its released and to be fair bmw did pull out all the stops with the s1000r, it would be hard to beat with out putting a lot of money in to a new model in a climate where bike sales do not justify it

Got a Tweet back from Ducati UK saying the official release is 6pm today so will have more info then.

I think performance and tech wise I think it will be mental. 155kg wet with the standard euro crap exhausts!!

Looks wise Ducati folk are split pretty much like the 999 but I actually like it. Front has a mix of 1098/916 series but not sure on the funky shock and midpipes sticking out
