Ducati 1199 Superleggera #107

Obtain the unobtainable. Even in the rarified air of Ducatis. the Superleggera is extraordinary. While the stock Panigale R tips the scales at a svelte 414 pounds fully fueled. the Superleggera’s lightweight materials diet has stripped away over 19 of those pounds. “Light makes right” is a somewhat cliche saying in motoring circles. But it’s especially true when it comes to motorcycles. where shaving off just a pound here and there translates to lower lap times. better handling and quicker acceleration. Lopping off over a dozen pounds results in substantial upticks on all those fronts. Where did the weight go? Carbon fiber body panels replace the heavier plastic bits found on the R. the rear subframe holding the seat on the Superleggera is also carbon fiber while the R makes do with aluminum. The main frame holding the steering head is sandcast magnesium on the Superleggera. The R’s headstock is also magnesium. but it’s over two pounds heavier. An Akropovic titanium exhaust system is standard. further cutting weight. all the fasteners on the bike are either titanium or lightweight Ergal to save grams. The rear shock spring? Titanium. Wheels? Machined magnesium. Carbon fiber is everywhere. as are several bits clearly machined for lighter weight where they might be cast on the Panigale R. Inside the roaring eight-valve L-twin. titanium exhaust valves. a lightened crank and other race-bred aides push power to 200 horses. And don't forget the Ohlins TTX36 rear shock and race exhaust. Truly one of the most stunning Ducatis ever madeThis 2014 Ducati 1199 Superleggera has only 32 miles and is #107 of only 500 made.
