Description

Click here for an CycleVIN Motorcycle History Report on this 2016 Ducati 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 Ohlins suspension, forged Marchesini wheels, a lengthened wheelbase, and a titanium/carbon fiber Akrapovic exhaust with a Race ECU.

Ducati unveiled the next generation of the Panigale at the 2014 Milan Motorcycle Show – it was named the 1299 after the larger 1,285cc v-twin motor equipped for street purposes. But Ducati kept the 1,198cc engine in the homologation-spec “R” model due to WSBK regulations. Thanks to a tungsten-balanced crankshaft, titanium valves, titanium connecting rods, and two-ring pistons, the smaller R engine produced the same 2015 horsepower as the “1299”.
