For something less than the $184,000 RC213V-S hopefully? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted June 29, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted June 29, 2017 Supposedly, they plan on revealing this bike at the WSBK race at Laguna Seca this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer GatorGreg Posted June 29, 2017 Author Member Contributer Share Posted June 29, 2017 I did a vid earlier tonight where I discuss this new Ducati and the V4 Renaissance going on (squid warning ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Grum Posted June 29, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted June 29, 2017 Nice video again Gator. Hey what do you mean lightning! I reckon that was the flash of the red light camera. Riding motorcycles isn't dangerous compared to eating that Golden Arches crap, it'll surely kill you. Interesting your mirror LED position lights are orange, on the Australian model the lights are white. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Pizza Hut for dinner and McDonald's for dessert but I swear I'm only about 200 pounds I need to find a place for the mic farther away from my mouth cuz all my heavy breathing and lip smacking makes me sound like I weigh 500 pounds - the mic is practically touching my lips the way I have it clipped on right now. Yeah we get ugly orange position lights here :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Grum Posted June 30, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted June 30, 2017 Sure hope they do something about that crappy looking heat shield behind the riders right foot - yuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Skids Posted June 30, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted June 30, 2017 Judging by the tail, the aesthetics of the bike will be left to the production version, including the heat shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhenley17 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I, for one, fully expect that the production model will look that rough. But it looks just like a 1299! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really ? If there's one thing I would not hold against Ducati, it's that they produce "rough" looking bikes. At least not until they are a couple of years old.

jhenley17 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'm poking a little fun at the comments about the heat shield. It's just a test mule. The entire bike looks like it's held together by zip ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i've read the heat shield on a panigale is not very effective to put it mildly. this bike seems to have the same design "feature" of running a pipe and rear head right under that rider's seat i've ridden tuono v4s and though they run hot they didn't fry my butt in any way. Bike was actually quite comfy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
