ROLL CALL: 1299 Superleggera Owners

I dont know about the rest of us but I noticed when we mention the SL its the signal for a bike trashing session, not just this forum ether, got to the point I was messaging other owners so avoid a bloodbath by openly posting! Great bike, if your re interested its not like the 1299 to ride more like the 1199 with more anger.

That's a shame about the criticism from others, I have noticed a few going nuts on the subject. I like how Ducati and others bring out special models, I love seeing the hight ticket items weather they are good value or not doesn't concern or affect me the slightest.

Come on owners, a few stories, pictures and others who have taken them to the next level.

your re right, anybody who has ridden it couldnt really moan about it, whats to moan about, 220hp 160 kg, unless you think its ugly of course, for me and why I bought it was because it was pretty close a what I would put together myself with enough cash, the paint, exhaust and carbon when I saw it in Milan, sound is sick, even compaired to my full Akra system 1199. I got off the 1299 at Mugello then jumped on the SL, it was like the 1199, it did nothing till 7000 then you were being ripped off the bike, in the short time I rode it the SBK bike seemed less violent. The Ducati day was something else, got to ride with Melandri, the race team, DRE and the SL development teams really pulled out all the stops to make it the ultimate play time. When they asked me what I though, I didnt know what to say but who gets to ride a real SBK bike or an 80k bike thats not yours to trash! I noticed no one wrote here about it or not that I saw but I guess they didnt want .... Storm that comes with writing that something is top draw, by the way with my 1199 I had a miserable time with when it came to service, my Scrambler still has problems unsolved from new 2 years on, and the dealer I bought the SL from, lets just say I bother with them again! So I can piss and moan with the best but not about the SL1299, Ducati have in my experience really poor dealers, I have tried 5 in 3 different countries and been disappointed
But the bike, I love it and its worth every penny.

I would load some pictures but it wont work any longer, use to, and I cant be bothered to sign up for a photo sharing site, forum needs to solve this problem as pictures are an important part of it.

Ask admin that question. The image uploading engine on this forum is pre-historic. That's not necessarily their own doing but it seriously needs updating.
