Dream bike election 2014: 7th place

Ducati 1199 Panigale

The strongest two-cylinder of all time and the lightest superbike on the market, this reputation preceded the Ducati 1199 Panigale. But when it was there it turned out to be much more. Namely as a brand new concept that ushered in a new era at Ducati.

The past has shown that Ducati is always good for a surprise. Whether the keel laying of a Hailwood Replica or TT F1, whether the first four-valve Desmo with water cooling in the 851, the canonized 916 or the boldness of bringing the Desmosedici a flawless MotoGP offshoot with road approval. The Bolognese were not lacking in ingenious ideas. And if you had asked someone what belongs to a Ducati, besides that it is red, he would probably have answered: “Desmodromic, 90 degree cylinder angle and space frame.” But the Bolognese threw the latter at the D.ucati 1199 Panigale overboard.

1199 Panigale was considered a declaration of war. The strongest twin of all time. At one stroke everything was new and everything was completely different.

Aggressive design, great handling and unheard of power

The icing on the cake was the aggressive design. Unmistakably Ducati, made of one piece, simply a total work of art. Stunning – that’s how the Ducati 1199 Panigale took the audience’s breath away at the EICMA in Milan at the end of 2011. And when a little later the first driving report came with the customer of handling unheard of at Ducatis and unheard-of power, it was clear to the MOTORRAD readers: They voted the Panigale with an overwhelming lead over BMW’s parade superbike S 1000 RR as the athlete of the year 2012.

How different the Ducati 1199 Panigale is compared to its predecessors, the driver already suspects when taking a seat. Because the compact seating position, which is close to the handlebars, is much more in line with current practices than the rather elongated seating arrangements of previous Ducati superbikes. The starting procedure, on the other hand, is well known: the starter struggles to reduce the compression in the huge cylinders, and time and again pulls the huge pistons above top dead center. But so far he still managed to bring the V2 to life in our endurance test Panigale, even after frosty nights.

The V2 runs smoothly from almost 3000 rpm

The huge rumble with which the Ducati 1199 Panigale reports on the spot leaves no doubt that the Italians have mastered the game with exhaust flaps at the upper limit of noise limits. The neighbors can confirm it. Mechanically, the Superquadro sounds harder than its predecessor. The soft singing of the toothed belts is missing, for the first time the camshafts control a Ducati roller chain.

Although trimmed for maximum performance for the fight for championship points, the Ducati 1199 Panigale behaves in the small and small of the everyday traffic chaos. From just under 3000 rpm the V2 runs smoothly and releases its power in the first half of the speed range. But the fascination of the Panigale is not yet revealed here. Deep handlebar stubs and the often necessary grip on the clutch are just as constant companions as a hot butt that is heated up by the manifold of the standing cylinder under the seat bench.

The Panigale conveys the feeling of sitting on a racer

No, this Ducati wants to run, sprint. If the Ducati 1199 Panigale gets the necessary outlet, everything will suddenly be fine. Quite exceptionally good. Because then she can really play out her talents. Your unshakable stability, for example. This Ducati-typical feeling of driving on rails also dominates the monocoque-reinforced Panigale. The faster and further the corners, the greater the lean angle, the better. And the pilot inevitably begins to slide slightly into the hanging-off in curves, duck over the tank and listen to this V2 volcano. When he drops the hammer from 6000 rpm and rages up to the limiter at an unheard of 11,500 rpm, there is joy.

It skilfully conveys the feeling of sitting on a racer because it was primarily developed for racing. The author recently got a taste of how much racing motorcycle there really is in the Ducati 1199 Panigale. On the occasion of an exclusive ride with the Superleggera. This noble version, slimmed down to 166 kilograms dry weight with extreme means, demonstrated its unheard-of closeness to true superbike racers in terms of driving dynamics. Ducati is always good for a surprise.
