Ducati 1199 R Supeleggera

[rac3r]

Even though I will never come close to one of these I can't wait!

Along with this there will also be an 1198 Monster which should be fun. I think the SF has been dropped

Well at least you have to be invited to buy one of the 500, so hopefully the ones that are sold will be used as they intended, on track or road. But still, leaves me wondering why? As a technical exercise, great but the market for this type of bike at this price is small so why bother

I'm not usually one to bite back, but on a serious level why are you forever trolling people on their bike choice. You do it in most threads regardless of topic or relevance

Of course you have to be 'invited' to own one - easy way to keep the rif-raf out is to offer 'invites' to anyone who waves $65k under their noses first.

I'd still get last year's superbike from a race team.

Or go to NCR who will sell you a Ducati based bike with 145kg and over 200hp at the rear wheel. Or lighter versions with less power.

NCR bikes are awesome. Probably priced about the same too

Maybe thats why the R wasn't that great a step from the S

Sad thing is most will probably end up sat as decoration in a mansions living room, or gaining dust in a garage waiting to be/instantly auctioned off for way over price tag cost

Isn't all marketing an invitation to buy your products?

Thats an interesting point, id just gone with presuming theyd send a boy on a bicycle to do a paper round over hollywood throwing the invites over mansion walls

Wonder how the production cost vs sale cost compares with these versions vs the standard bikes. How much do you pay for the 'privilege'
