Description
Click here for an CycleVIN Motorcycle History Report on this 2014 Ducati 1199 Panigale R. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
Introduced in 2012, the 1199 Panigale was a tremendous step up from the 1198. In their First Ride, Cycle World said “Its V-Twin makes power like no two-cylinder engine before it, and the way the chassis behaves, the way the bike feels, blows the performance window wide open and obliterates the memory of past Ducati superbikes.”
The new Superquadro motor put out a claimed 195 horsepower, making it the world’s most powerful production twin at the time, and with a curb weight of 414 pounds, Ducati claimed it had the highest power-to-weight ratio of any production bike when released. That ratio got even better with the R model, which was released to make the bike eligible for World Superbike racing. It featured titanium valves and connecting rods, two-ring pistons, and a tungsten-balanced crank, as well as Ohlins suspension, forged Marchesini wheels, lengthened wheelbase, and a titanium/carbon fiber Akrapovic exhaust with a Race ECU.
Manufactured in April of 2014, this example is VIN: ZDM14BPW5EB021361.
The odometer shows 2,481 miles.
It was accepted as a trade-in by a long time client of ours who owns a RV dealership. He has not ridden the bike at all and the history is not well-known. Per the seller, “The bike was bought from Newport Beach Ducati. The owner is a engineer for a rocket company (not sure which) and opted to sell the bike as he’s going to live in an RV while working on this project. He didn’t want the bike parked outside and admitted that the bike scared him a bit so that’s why the mileage was so low.”
