That is a sexy bike. It looks EXACTLY like a Buell. WTF?
right? reading up on it...
The most high tech, most powerful twin-cylinder production engine on the planet is now an integral part of an innovative monocoque chassis that combine to deliver 195hp from 164kg (361.5lb). The highest production motorcycle power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios in the world are fitting trophies for the incredible results that Ducati have achieved. Bred for the track and trained for the road, the new 1199 Panigale is a true revolution of the species destined to influence the entire sportsbike environment.

The only thing that reminds me of the 1190 is the mirrors. I love single sided swing arms.
The single sided-swing arms are so cool.
Now they are going with the low-exhaust too, instead of under-tail?
