Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 2017 Ducati 959 Panigale.
Introduced for 2016, the Panigale 959 was an evolution of the 899 that ensured it could still make good power (157 hp, 79 lb-ft) while meeting Euro 4 emissions. Other goodies included a slipper clutch, a slight restyle, and a full ride-by-wire electronics suite that enables traction control, engine brake control, ABS, quickshifter, and ride modes (Wet/Sport/Race).
According to MCN “Suspension, brakes and riding position are all carried over from the 899 Panigale, but Ducati has lowered the swingarm pivot by 4mm to improve traction on track and stability on the road. The shock is 2mm longer and the wheelbase is 5mm longer, but the 24° rake and 96mm trail remain the same.”
“The reworked motor has ribbed aluminium cylinder heads (to reduce noise and increase strength), pistons with a reshaped crown, high-flow air-filter, upgraded lubrication system, a secondary shower injector above the throttle butterflies (which kicks in just below 9000rpm) and a quieter cam chain.”
“Despite the 959’s extra capacity, power and torque, service intervals remain an impressive: 7500-miles for an interim service and 15,000-miles to check valve clearances. Build quality is up there with the best, as are the tasty satin metallic white and gloss red paint jobs.”
Manufactured in January 2017 this example is VIN: ZDM14B1W9HB004883. The seller states “purchased from Ducati Newport Beach.”
The odometer shows 7,269 miles. The seller has covered approximately 130 miles during his 2 months of ownership.
