Ducati Joins the Frankfurt Fun With the Superbike 899 Panigale

On the eve of the first day of the show.

We have driven a variety of CARS that have between 130-150 horsepower. Ducati just introduced a new sportbike that has 148hp and 73lb-ft of torque. And it only weighs 372.5 pounds. What you see above is the 2014 Superbike 899 Panigale, a little brother of the all-powerful 1199 Panigale. The new "supermid" has Ducati Quick Shift (DQS), Ride-by-Wire, "triple stage" ABS, traction control and engine brake control. The slightly less powerful bike is a perfect way to make the "super" much more accessible to everybody. And that Arctic White with the red rims is too perfect.
