No we're sharing a 1299 base. I'm finishing my last year of law school so time isn't exactly readily available to me. We still have the gsxr 1000 too...might sell it and get another Duc, just not sure yet what we want to do. We share bikes, split costs, etc so that's why I refer to them in this manner...although they are both in my name. He's free to ride them whenever he pleases.

F1 is hybrid mate. The tech will trickle down from F1 to cars like the P1 / LaFerrari / 918 and eventually to more affordable cars.
The concept of the hybrid supercars is great. The electric motor fills in the voids of the N/A motor thus giving seamless thrust in the low end while the N/A motor takes over in the top end. (P1 is twin turbo, I was talking about the other 2).

It was not taken away. Since 2014, the cars are 1.6L turbo'd and hybrid.

Electric is on our doorstep but internal combustion still has a way to go - time will tell

what makes a Ducati?
dry clutch rattle. gone
air cooling. gone
trellis frame. no such animal on the Panigale.
L-twin. still alive and kicking, but even in MotoGP with the V-4, they've stuck with the L configuration. However, it is notable that, again in the cutting edge Panigale, it's canted 15 degrees upwards.
Ducati is capable of foregoing what would have been sacrilegious to have considered eliminating. It'll just happen gradually and subtly. Wonder what a twin electric motor in a 90 degree L configuration would look like...
