A stock exhaust? lol
So many people have so much money and so little brains. 99.99999999% of us on this forum will ride this no faster than we would a stocker base 1299. Facts.

I seriously think its way too much money. Regardless of how you would ride it. I rather buy a base and a freaking nice car. But that's just me.
I don't even find the bike appealing. Looks like an unfinished project. But that's my 2 cents

Call me stupid but I like this better than the botched paint scheme they came up for this.
The 1199 SL paint scheme was way better.

I don't care what anyone says those wheels are hideous!
Yea. No thanks. I got way more for my money than that factory rip off. Seriously guys. The guys who know me here know I have the $$ to buy that thing but I wouldn't pay more than 40k for that thing. It's a great bike but it ain't anywhere near 85k. Save your $$ and get the base V4 Panigale (yes the new V4 is basically a Panigale with a new motor) and dump 20k in it and crush this overpriced dinosaur. Again great bike but Ducati really took some guys to the cleaners on this one. Ducati found a profitable way to chew up the rest of the now discontinued Panigale parts. This bike is way too easy to replicate for a lot less money. Of course if you absolutely have to have that Limited Edition top clamp well then by all means, get that check book out

I guess I missed the part that said "paint optional"?

I really like the 1299 after I got it sorted and on a solid platform. I'm just not at all a fan of the brand especially the sales/marketing and the service for the most part is dog ..... When the Anaversario came out, it's all anyone talked about Very shortly after came the 1299SL and the hype started all over again. Then The V4 news cracked and the 1299sl posts disappeared. It's a giant marketing cluster. This SL makes no sense other than to get rid of 1299 inventory and to rig the marketing to maximally capitalize on the "exclusive and limited edition" hype. 85% of the bike is stock 1299. It's not a technology platform for a predecessor because the next bike is a new generation. This is Ducati marketing at its finest. They have essentially hyped a discounted bike as "the next big thing". Amazing and you noticed how the V4 next gen was kept under wraps until this thing was heavily sold.

I can't speak to the finish, but doesn't that purchase price come with some pretty awesome perks? Like a trip to Mugello to ride with professional instruction on the SL and on a WSBK?
There has to be more to it in order to justify the price right?

Too many people here are trying to apply logic to something that was never meant to be logical.
Jjsc6 makes a good point. I have seen the Panigale V4. It does not share the same frame or swingarm design as the current Panigale so why dump R&D money into the CF pieces for the SL? but you guys are correct, that's where they are getting the numbers from. Not sure why they need one for training. It's the same platform as the 1299 except for some of the electronics and they can't even trouble shoot the base 2012 models accurately. Can you really see someone taking one of these things to the local Ducati House of Horrors when it ..... itself? Same problem as we had with our jets in the Navy.
