I find it interesting that no one seems concerned about how the 1299SL will handle. Using carbon fiber in the two key flex points on the Panigale - the swingarm and the monocoque airbox - is going to change how the bike handles a lot more than switching from aluminum to magnesium.

This could be good or bad. But if you ask Ducati Corse, or especially Casey Stoner and Nicky Hayden, they're not going to have positive things to say about a carbon fiber frameless bike.

Nonetheless, the Panigale is a beautifully engineered design with elegant solutions to eliminating the frame altogether. It's too bad that it was so uncompetitive, and that it has taken Ducati several years to get the bike to even win a single WSBK race (although they've now definitely gotten the bike sorted out!).

Despite being a Panigale, using carbon fiber in those key points really makes it the closest thing you'll ever get to a GP10 replica, and that's a very cool thing. I'd want to know how the bike handles on a track when pushed, before dropping $65k on one, which would require reports from riders flogging their 1299SLs on tracks.

I doubt many 1299SLs will see much track time however.

If you read Stoner's book he has good things to say about the carbon frame and how he reckons Ducati should have developed it further.

Yup. It's all relative.

exactly.

Like some people wont buy clothes from Walmart...because it is embarrassing and go to the Mall and buy Armani or whatever since their "means / income" can afford it.

On the other hand, some people cant afford Armani and gladly buy clothes from Walmart.

Its all relative to your means.

It's not impossible to get. A forum member just received his RS16 and had the option of getting that exhaust and chose to get the single exhaust outlet, the version before the double outlet.

I got a magic ball and I can see it look like a panigale with more .... that you don't need and it will make you slow in the track because you will worry too much about your fancy carbon fiber and the guy in the ninja 250 it going to pass you in the strait away.but in the pit you can brag to the guy next to you about how bad ... you bike is.until your section show up and everybody know to pass you in the first lap because you are going to be too concentrated in choosing the multiple computers aids and making sure you are not tailgating anybody, you don't want rock chip on your cool ... bike.

quality and Ducati don't go together, fancy parts and Ducati maybe
