In 2012, Ducati evolved their flagship superbike to create the Panigale 1199 – MCN called it a “mold-breaking motorcycle,” as it introduced the next-generation Superquadro engine and it even utilized the block as a stressed member of the frame.
The 90 degree V-Twin motor produced a claimed 195 horsepower with a much higher redline and larger service intervals thanks to the chain-operated desmo valves. What’s more, the 1199 Panigale S was packed with impressive additions like Ducati Traction Control, a Ducati Quick Shifter, some Ducati Electronic Suspension (made by Öhlins), as well as full LED lighting, a carbon fiber front fender, and a set of forged Marchesini wheels.
And the list goes on: several components were made of magnesium alloy, it utilized a wet slipper clutch, and for the first time, it boasted a ride-by-wire throttle. The throttle enabled an advanced electronic system – MCN continued, “it’s a very clever motorcycle and very, very good.”
This example is VIN: ZDMH802JADB016334. The seller acquired the bike through an Iconic Motorbikes auction. He is selling the bike as he has been unable to register it in California.
During his ownership, the seller has covered less than 50 miles. The odometer shows 15,027 miles.
Maintenance:
The seller states that he has “replaced some parts such as the rear fender (scratches), the headlight fairing (damage), and the exhaust.”
