Ducati 1199 Panigale

The Ducati 1199 Panigale is a sport bike manufactured by Ducati from 2012 to 2014, acting as the replacement to the 1198. Designed by Gianandrea Fabbro and introduced at the 2011 Milan Motorcycle Show, the 1199 was advertised as the worlds most powerful production twin-cylinder engine motorcycle. It is powered by a 1.2L desmodromic V2 producing 172 horsepower mated to a 6-speed sequential manual with a slipper clutch. The 1199s design dates back to 2006, with Fabbro having drawn the first sketches for the bike "for fun"; the final design was chosen in an internal contest where it competed against two other internal designs.
