2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale Superbike.

Ducati keeps producing one hot bike after another; just releasing information on the all-new Ducati 1199 Panigale.  The 1199 Panigale will be made public on November 10 at EICMA, the 69th Milan motorcycle show will be held from November 10 to 13, 2011.

The Ducati 1199 Panigale is not only lighter than the 1198 but also packs a bigger punch.  The superbike is powered by the Superquadro twin-cylinder engine that produces 195 horsepower, 20 more than the standard 1198.  The 1199 weighs in at 361 pounds, 22 pounds lighter than the 1198.  This thing should be a hoot to rip around on some twisty roads.

Ducati has included traction control (DTC) as a standard feature on the bike; ABS is not standard but is available as a stand-alone option.  The bike features a monocoque frame and the first electronically adjustable suspension (DES) on any superbike.  Additionally, the 1199 Panigale comes with Ducati Quick-Shift (DQS), Engine Brake Control (ECB), and Ride-by-Wire (RbW).
