I really like it minus the color scheme. Technology wise it's a masterpiece.

The bike should have much more low end grunt.
 
The more I stare at it, the more I like it.

It seems very detail oriented which is awesome. The subtle CF showing through, the subtle magnesium parts poking out here and there, the new rearsets, the red on the rear wheel, etc.

I can imagine it cruising down the road and it makes me smile :D
 
So how are they able to address heat issues with the carbon version of the old heat shield? And how can I get one if it works?:D

I agree Ducati always make beautiful bikes really detailed oriented. Since I was a kid I've always been star struck of Ducati superbikes.
 
The one piece side body panels look incredible. The smooth lines they give vs. the two piece with bolts on the other 1199s really improve the looks. I love the colour/graphic design too.

Interesting to note the absence of the DP carbon clutch cover and swing arm cover. Spec doesn't list the carbon conveyer covers either.

Funny the bike includes the ...... DP paddock stands. The dealer should keep those and discount the bike!

Yes, DWC = Ducati Wheelie Control
This bike has a completely different electronics package, I don't believe all of the full details are available yet, probably saving some of the stuff to trickle out at the EICMA show. Notice that it has switchable DWC and DTC settings via a left-hand switch on the handlebar? Notice how they achieved wheelie control and that it's programmable? 13.2:1 compression ratio vs. 12.5:1 on the normal Superquaddro. WSBK pistons and crank. You couldn't exactly build an R up to this spec easily.

It certainly does sound like an incredible bike rich with intriguing features, but I expected higher HP numbers and a lower weight than what is being advertised. Not to say it isn't an incredible testament to Ducati engineering and innovation, but I was expecting a bit more for that price point.

Higher than 200hp and less than 390lbs fueled up and ready to go? I think it's time to lower your expectations JUST a little bit. I remember when the liter bike wars started, you couldn't buy a race spec superbike with those numbers much less a street legal bike.

That logic could be applied to ZX10/ZX14/S1000/1199/Rsv4r....

All bikes that are from another planet compared to bikes of the 90's... This bike at $65000ish is/was supposed to be a paradigm shift from what we currently have...Wasn't it???;)
