Back in 2013, Ducati replaced its aging 848 with an all-new bike: the 899 Panigale. Much like its predecessors, the model was intended to be a smaller, more approachable version of the Bologna-based firm’s range-topping superbike.
In practice, this meant that the 899 shared many of its componentry with its bigger, meaner brother, the 1199. Of course, some changes had to be made to avoid cannibalizing sales. For one, the Superquadro engine made a tame-able 148 horses instead of 195. What’s more is that, along with using a set of Showa Big Piston forks, the 899 also traded the 1199’s single-sided swingarm for a double-sider.
However, such substitutions proved to be for the betterment of the bike. Thanks to the addition of rider-friendly tech like traction control, ABS, and EBC, the 899 quickly won its way into the hearts of testers the world over.
As Motorcycle News puts it in their review: “Like the iconic GSX-R750, the Ducati 899 Panigale offers the rev-tastic excitement of a supersport machine with just that bit more grown-up performance. It’s blindingly quick but it doesn’t have so much power that you can’t hold on to the bloody thing. It’s the ultimate trackday bike.”
This example is VIN: ZDM14BUW1EB019319. The seller purchased it from a friend less than a year ago.
During his ownership, the seller has ridden the bike for approximately 100 miles. The odometer shows 4,234 miles.

Moreover, it sports a new lithium battery and it rides on fresh Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires.
