I'm not certain to be honest. But now that you mention it the original 1199 Panigale R did follow after the base and S models :confused:

Remember too, they raced the Pani in Superstock the first year and didn't move it to WSBK until the year after. But if I remember correctly, Ducati didn't have any direct involvement (i.e. no team) in WSBK in that transition year anyway.
 
Probably an EICMA November 2017 unveiling, prefaced by the usual spy shots on the internet and doubtless a poorly framed picture of the bike taken with a 'hidden' camera at a dealer conference. These things have a habit of leaking out and if the 1098 and 1199 are anything to go by, it's almost contrived in that it is so predictable and a repeating pattern. Still it keeps people keen which is what Ducati want and by building up the hype around it by drip feeding us information and snippets, merely fuels the level of interest and speculation.

...add that to the people on here who say they have seen documents or pics yet wont share.

Pics or it didnt happen...
 
I have shared the pics with a few people on this board. You want pics, shoot me a PM. I promised not to post publicly.
 
can we get this straight, it will be a L4, stop saying V4.





Please let it be a L4, otherwise i would sound like an idiot.
 
Endodoc is right it is not up to him to put up pics if he is not supposed to.

When I was first told of this bike in October I was told not to say much about it, except it was coming and it has a double sided swing arm, but if you guy's are serious about one of these I would be getting your deposits down. This is going to be one awesome bike, Ducati are out to win the WSBK title back and what they are building is going to be quite capable of doing it
 
V4....L4...double or single sided...who gives a .... as long as it's an awesome bike. If it's not then I'll get another RSV4.

Now come on Wallaroo. It is April 1st. Are you having fun or should I stop spending money on gloss carbon for my "old" 1199S and start saving a deposit. :rolleyes:

On my Sunday ride, one of the local dealers who rides with us, said that the 1299 has stopped being produced as the factory is being re-tooled for a new model.
Only 959 is still being made.

Anyone hear this too?

Yes, I heard the same thing, no more 1299 in production :confused:

True story.....

The 1299 will not pass future noise and emissions regulations so it has stopped production

The 1299 engine will filter down into other models, detuned and with euro emissions....gone are the days of a thunderous, powerful V twin.

I guess this means we should be seeing it within a month or so.:D

I heard that all the 2017 1299 builds are done for the year and Ducati has now switched over the line to filling the 959 builds for 2017. This is normal practice for cycle manufactures. It does not necessarily mean that production for the 1299 has ceased..

All the 2017 Panigale's pass Euro 4 spec. So they should be good to go until the stricter 2020 euro 5 spec comes into effect. After that...? :confused:
