                                       Ducati 1199 Panigale



Quintessential Italian beauty is just the beginning of description for this Italian masterpiece. The sharp fairing and   drop dead gorgeous looks hint at a rally fast bike. And the motor, fortunately, doesn't disappoint. This here, the superquadro engine (which literally means oversquare or huge thirst for revs!) the most powerful v-twin in production right now, what with 195 bhp on tap. And it weighs in at just 164kg/361.5lbs, bolstering its place as the super bike with the highest power to weight ratio. Its handling is as sharp as its styling suggests, and it looks like no other bike right now can triumph this nutter.
                   
                                                                



At the time of its release, Ducati 1199 Panigale had the world's most powerful production twin-cylinder engine with maximum 195 horsepower at 10,750 rpm and 98.1 lb-ft torque at 9000 rpm. With its dry weight of 164kg/361.5lbs (188kg/415lbs curb weight), the 1199 has the highest power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios among production motorcycles. It is faster and lighter than a  Confederate motorcycle, which are probably one of the most extreme American motorcycles. 

The new Superquadro (oversquare) engine has a new valve timing system made of gears and chains which replaces the cam belt system on previous Ducati engines. The motorcycle also uses the engine as a stressed member which allows the overall frame of the machine to be much smaller and therefore lighter than a conventional frame.

The 1199 is also one of the first production sports motorcycles that features electronically adjustable suspension. Rebound and compression damping is adjusted electronically while pre-load is still adjusted manually. The 1199 also features an underfloor exhaust, where the exhaust system and mufflers are underneath the engine, as compared to under the seat on previous models, such as the 1198 and 1098. It will be sold in 3 variant- the base 1199, the 1199 S and the 1199 s tricolour with the special eye catching red white and green livery. Ducati also makes the Streetfighter  the Diavel theMultistrada and the Monster.

Like Facebook “Have you ever been to Brazil?” is a common question amongst pale twenty-somethings that have been to the Brazillian  Carnaval  or New Year’s and come back with a few venereal diseases under their belt (so to speak).  Brazil has much more to offer than hedonistic festivals and pristine beaches though. It’s also home to nearly 200 million people, many of whom ride two wheelers everyday as the ideal form of personal transport.  Italian brand, Benelli, has recently announced the opening of 12,500 square meters of additional factory space to the existing 100,000 square meters of space at the Bramont Motorcycle facility in Manaus. The additional manufacturing capacity will be utilized to facilitate the production of all models of Benelli and Keeway two-wheeled products for the South American market. It makes sense that Benelli sees potential for the growth of its business in not only Brazil, but also the South American market in general. Like t...

Being one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers in the world certainly says something about the success of the motor company’s development model. So, when the representatives at a Harley new model press briefing mention styling first, it should come as no surprise. Reintroducing a model that was first released in 1977 (at Daytona Bike Week, no less) after it has been on a five year hiatus, ...
