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: ZDMH802JAEB018185. It came to Iconic as an import from Japan; prior history is not known.
The odometer shows 19,965 kilometers (12,405 miles).
