Spoke with my dealer today and they confirmed with Ducati NA that when the 1299 Superleggera is fitted with the race exhaust it deletes the side stand. The road legal exhaust appears to be the same or similar exhaust on the old superleggera while the race exhaust is the fancy under tail Akraprovic. This news really puts a damper on my posing at the local coffee shop.

good point and info. :D

Jeez I did not realize or thought about that. I guess I just have to carry my rear stand on my shoulder around. :D:D

...I be happy to do that if I can have one!....but I'm a poor man!
 
I doubt this will affect most SL owners. I've seen 3 SL's in the wild and all were dedicated track bikes. Hell, one lives at Duc Austin and the owner only uses it for COTA track days.
 
Yikes... This seems odd. While I track my SL, I do a fair amount of street riding, as well.

Does not seem well thought out.
 
I just want that exhaust for the track.. Dont need a kickstand..
 
Is the side stand removed due to the routing of the exhaust, or just because of the different fairing used for the high mount exhaust? Might be worth looking into.

Also, I would LOVE to have that problem.
(Jealous of you superleggera owners)
 
ohh btw if you want to sell it lmk I'd be more than happy to take it

guess you going drive through only
 
Last weekend was the biggest motorcycle fair in Switzerland. I wanted to checkout the new SL. Last time I bought the 1199SL there. One of the things I was really interested in was the SL's exhaust setup, inner design of the airbox and the rear swingarm.

Guess what: the Ducati stand was a complete disapointment. No SL at all, one preproduction SS, no sales guy trying to convince me even to to buy a tiny scrambler, no nice chicks, no goodies, just nothing!
For christ sakes...

Went to the BMW stand and had a look at the R NINE T RACER. Cheap and cool design, only 140lbs heavier than the SL, but great price :)

BTW: Besides HD, only Honda had some chicks in hotpants standing around....

I know its supposed to be a track bike but i have to agree with this. Ive never done track so i dont know how it works but is doing a track day by yourself even an option? Even if you went with other racers someone would have to be waiting for you with the stand right?

I would still buy this beast if i could afford it though

I really admire BigBoost for taking his SL to the track. I never did that. If you look at my track bike, you know why. Hundreds of chips in the fairing.... I don't know how it is in other places, but French, Spanish and Italian race tracks are full of gravel. I guess southern european people hate cleaning :)

So I do need a kick stand, while riding through Swiss and Austrian Alps.
 
Appears that the SL's Euro4 spec exhaust is the typical panigale underbelly exhaust with two snorkels welded to the old exhaust ports. This is fundamentally different then the race only exhaust Ducati has been showing off (see pics).

To add more confusion to the configurations Ducati shows a side stand in the naked SL pic with the race exhaust fitted, but the race body work belly pan will not allow for a side stand to be used.

1299 SL owners wishing to run the race exhaust on the road will be faced with the choices of:

  1. Install Race Exhaust as is and delete the side stand. (need a tree to park against)
  2. Install Race Exhaust with side stand but no belly pan, exposing pipes (aesthetically challenged)
  3. Cut the carbon fibre belly pan to make room for the side stand (backyard shed hack, ruins rare carbon fibre part)
  4. Fabricate a new belly pan to accommodate a side stand. (expensive and cosmetic)

I really hope this isn't the case..... Not for the kind of money they are asking for now. It's just getting silly now.

HA! I am very fortunate the three tracks, I usually ride at are very, very nice. Not much gravel. I have to say, gravel on the track would suck. No fun.

Besides, I hate cleaning too!
 
5. have a pit ..... to hold the bike
6. use a mock up stand - similar to the triangles for dirtbikes
