2014 Ducati 1199 Superleggera Pictures & Information

This is not always true. . not saying the SL will or will not be, but not all the Ducati's lose value in that first 5-8 years, stabilize and then creep. . Some have actually gone up in value within a short span of time. .. Some examples of bikes that have gone up outside of the 5-8 years - just look at the sport classic line (particularly the Paul Smart). The Supermono in the mid 90's also went up pretty immediately as well. .

But by and large this is correct and who knows if the SL will retain anywhere near its value. .

I expect it wont retain its value. I mean it could but I suspect its not really that big of a deal for the target market of this model. With any of these bikes its about wanting to own one not what its going to be worth. I keep my Suzuki RG500 Gamma and Paul Smart because I love them not because they are worth more today. Same for all the motorcycles I own.

My kid can figure out what they are worth when I am dead.

The dealer I bought my bike from has sold 2 of these bikes I'm gonna go down and see one in person,he also showed me a video of one of his techs at a training class,this guy walks up to the bike grabs it by the clip ons and lifts the front end off the ground like it was nothing,my comment was must have anti wheelie software he told me you you can select how high you want it to wheelie and it limits it to that height...wow:D

There's a big unveiling party or whatever you call it @ Ducati Bellevue on 5/9. Figure it's worth a peek on my part. :D

Same here. My dealer told me today that he's sold 2..both to the same guy:eek:

One to ride and one to "collect"!
 
I see she comes with a lithium ion battery.. I'd like to see if I could order one to swap out mine without disturbing Ducati by using an aftermarket product...

We'll be having our "unveiling" party about 10 seconds after the first one comes out of the crate next week!!! Ha ha! :D

FYI, this first shipment in the U.S. is not all of them, there will be another shipment coming later. Ducati said they were filling the orders in the order in which the deposits were received. The TPL Racing bike was our first deposit processed out of 4 total, and the first 2 are coming in this shipment.

Got a few PMs about the link to the Product Overview file no longer working...
Moved the PDF to a more reputable file hosting service - and fixed the link in my post above.

Jarel: Do you know when the order for the 2nd and 3rd bikes were placed? I'm trying to figure out if I should be expecting my SL in the first shipment to the states or a subsequent one.

I'm also wondering what my options are for a short-term self-induced coma so I don't have to consciously wait this out! :)

It's funny how the buyers remorse is fading away now that my bike will be here on Tuesday! Still not sure what the hell I am doing with it (track bike? trophy bike?) but I am pretty happy I said yes when Jarel asked me if I was getting one.

Tomorrow is Superleggera day at Ducati Omaha! Too bad I will be 700 miles away!

Does anyone know the paint code/paint supplier for the SL/D16RR? Was thinking about painting up a set of track fairings...

If you had a choice between a mint 1199SL that had sat in a guys living room or a 1199SL that had been raced which would you choose? Wait let's think about this!!!! The living room bike was only ever started when the guy wanted to show his drunk buddies how cool it sounds, probably not properly warmed up.....or an ex factory race bike that was blue printed and dismantled every 600miles to ensure it's perfect inside. I choose the race bike!

The raced 1, same goes for 750SS Desmo or SFC750 raced with history v show room original RACE
 
just got a leg over my super leggera!

it might be day-glow orange, but I'm not regretting my (frivolous) purchase on this first day I saw my SL. No, I'm not the sort of rider that will truly push this bike to it's absolute extremes and, yes, the regular Panigale would have suited me fine in many ways.

but...

Last day I was this happy was when I picked up my Diavel.
Before that my Monster.
Before that, my 750GT Bevel Drive"¦

I have a history of frivolous, but incredibly fun, purchases.


They will have my exhaust installed and all paperwork done by next week, so I'll report back after my first track day"¦or at least after riding it around town, using it as my friend said as a "supper leggra" "¦you gotta get to dinner somehow! ;>


safe rides everyone!

Good for you, I like your attitude. Have fun with the SL. Life is too short and then you die.
