DELIVERY INCLUDED WITHIN 250 MILES OF TN35 4SE Ducati Panigale R Gen 2 in Ducati Rosso Anniversario with Brushed Aluminium Tank. 2017 17 Reg. A piece of Italian art These are the last of the big twin homologation bikes, based on the later 1299 model but retaining an 1198cc motor for motorsport purposes. The 1198cc SuperQuadro motor is essentially the same as that used in the very exotic Superleggera model, developing 205bhp and 101 lb/ft. This one is a late registered example, a proper ‘end of an era’ machine The last keeper purchased from franchised dealers Pro-Twins in Surrey during 2019, with the bill of sale present. 6300 miles with franchised Ducati dealer service history including it’s original service book, service bills/invoices and old MOTs. Recent Shell Advance Ultra fully synthetic oil service. Excellent matching Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa V2s fitted. Clear HPI report. New MOT provided at point of sale. All books/history/documents/keys present An utterly fabulous machine, the original Panigale 1199 R launched in 2013 and shared virtually nothing in common with it’s forebear, the 1198 R. Most significantly, it was frameless, using it’s engine and airbox as it’s chassis where the engine itself acts as a stressed member. The Panigale R Gen 2 followed in 2015, based upon the then new Panigale 1299. List price when new in 2015 was £28995 and the model was, in common with all the Ducati R models that preceded it, the ultimate expression of Ducati’s engineering prowess. It’s raison d’etre solely for the purpose of homologating key parts for racing purposes. It goes without saying that these bikes are rare, exclusive and have a distinct current and future collectability. The motor itself was heavily modified over the standard ‘SuperQuadro’ unit, and in effect the highly exotic Superleggera motor that had launched in 2014 on the lightweight model that bore it’s name. It significantly had titanium rods, a lighter flywheel, DLC anti friction coated rocker arms and revised Mitsubishi fuelling/mapping. This resulted in an internal weight saving of 1.3 kg, lending itself to faster ‘spinning up’ and allowing an increased rev limit of 12000 rpm (+500 rpm over lesser versions) It runs shortened gearing at 15/41, and has a full ‘Racing Evo’ Akrapovic titanium exhaust system. With these changes crankshaft power grew to 205bhp. And so, the already fearsome ‘big’ Panigale, became even faster, even noiser, even more monstrous, and of course, even more desirable. The ‘R’ also had a beautifully crafted and finished lightweight aluminium fuel tank, and a 4 way adjustable swingarm pivot. It wore many expensive Ducati Corse Carbon Fibre parts, quite befitting of it’s £28995 price tag. These included a front hugger, rear hugger, instrument panel surround, ignition shroud, heel guards, infill panels, clutch cover, rear suspension guard and swingarm protector Bristling with high technological electronic and mechanical componentry the rest of the specification included Ohlins NIX30 43mm dia. TiN coated forks with manual compression and rebound adjustment, Ohlins TTX36 monoshock with manual compression and rebound adjustment, and adjustable linkage, Ohlins fully adjustable steering damper, Brembo Monobloc M50 radial calipers, 330mm dia. floating discs and radial master cylinder, Marchesini forged light alloy wheels, IMU – Internal Measurement Unit in conjunction with Bosch Inertial Platform, DWC Evo – Ducati Wheelie Control Evo, DDA – Ducati Data Analyser, ABS – Bosch 3-level Electronic Antilock Braking System, DTC – Ducati Traction Control, EBC – Engine Braking Control, DQS – Ducati Quickshifter Up/Down with AutoBlipper, RbW – Ride by Wire throttle control, Switchable engine maps – Rain, Sport, Wet, Taller screen, MOTO GP derived LCD instruments and Ducati engine immobiliser This bike also benefits from full Armourfend PPF, and EvoTech tail tidy and an Optimate flylead Wonderful bike, in exceptional, original condition. A truly stunning motorcycle that both sounds and looks awesome, with monstrous, mindblowing performance from its 205 bhp / 101 lb ft L-Twin ‘R’ spec. Superquadro motor. With it’s low mileage, and excellent history, it must surely become ever more desirable as time goes on. UK DELIVERY INCLUDED WITHIN 250 MILES OF TN35 4SE P/EX MAY BE POSSIBLE PRICE. £16995
