August 20, 201312 yr Anyone know where she will be made? http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-new-bikes/ducati-899-breaks-cover/23287.html
August 20, 201312 yr Wow so those mini Panigale rumors turned out to be true too I wish more builders would consider short stroke motors
August 20, 201312 yr wo wo! I've been waiting for this news for soo long, awesome. not sure about the double sided swingarm, ducati superbike range should always be single sided!
August 20, 201312 yr Author wo wo! I've been waiting for this news for soo long, awesome. not sure about the double sided swingarm, ducati superbike range should always be single sided! Yes but their thai bikes have that double arm but i wouldnt get my hopes up...
August 20, 201312 yr Cobblestones certainly look like Italy and not Thailand. My guess would be they make it there, too.
August 20, 201312 yr Spotted by an italian magazine so presumably that is the way they are going with it, i cant see it being made here. either way, i'll go the italian route regardless
August 21, 201312 yr Cobblestones certainly look like Italy and not Thailand. My guess would be they make it there, too. Wasn't the promo video for the Honda 500's also shot in Italy?
August 21, 201312 yr Nice bike, but, damn, that's got to be the worst passenger set-up ever- they should have made it monoposto.
August 21, 201312 yr Nice bike, but, dam_n, that's got to be the worst passenger set-up ever- they should have made it monoposto. Yes those passenger peg brackets kind of dominate that rear section Also the rear mud guard needs a tail tidy
August 21, 201312 yr Author Nice bike, but, dam_n, that's got to be the worst passenger set-up ever- they should have made it monoposto. I think rear cowls should be standard and rear seat optional. I guess i am the outcast as i prefer to ride solo.
August 21, 201312 yr many cost cutting measures, who knows maybe they will make it in Thailand or at least assamble them here. Cool bike! Sent from my GT-N7100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

I guess i am the outcast as i prefer to ride solo. I agree- I still haven't taken the rear-seat cowl off my bike, and I'm toying with removing the passenger peg brackets (or at least removing the one that isn't supporting my exhaust...)
September 6, 201312 yr Do you like new model motorcycles? Of course you do. Well, this time next week, Ducati Motor Holding will be making a presentation to the motorcycling media at its Bologna headquarters. The invitation in our inbox is light on details (unsurprisingly), though smart money would be on Ducati debuting some of its model refreshes for next year, and possibly its much anticipated 2014 Ducati 899 Panigale. Teased already on the internet, we know that the Ducati 899 Panigale will have a double-sided swingarm and lower-spec suspension and brakes when compared to its superbike companion. Advanced electronics are expected as well, though time will tell if the rumors regarding the 899cc engine displacement are true. As for the big pieces of Ducati’s 2014 line-up, those will likely have to wait until the EICMA show in Milan, Italy. Customarily, Ducati likes to whet our appetites with minor releases in September/October, leaving the big fish to fry until November’s trade show. What could the Bologna Brand have in store for us at EICMA? Time will only tell of course. Rumors suggest that we will have to wait a bit longer to see the Ducati Scrambler, despite the fact that Ducati trademarked “Ducati Scrambler” just two months ago with the USPTO. Source: Ducati
September 6, 201312 yr Well I for one am under whelmed. Except for it being red nothing jumps out at me and says Ducati.
September 6, 201312 yr anyway this picture is photoshoped so if a "899" will come it will sure not look like that
September 10, 201312 yr anyway this picture is photoshoped so if a "899" will come it will sure not look like that http://www.ducati.com/bikes/superbike/899_panigale/index.do Seems like it is official. Tried to get an 848 EVO Corse yesterday down Thonglor shop but impossible. Was offered a pre owned for 1.3m... Wonder what the 899 will go for. So far no Corse edition on the website
September 10, 201312 yr Glad it's official, now I can make a plan, not keen on the double sided swingarm, but when the 1199 panigale came out I was impressed with pics but the real life thing blew me away. Have a feeling this new 899 will do the same. I like the white too, never owned a white duc before Looks like the 848 is going up for sale soon! anyone interested?

January 29, 201412 yr Well it seems to be on the road as I saw one today at a ChiangMai college Very rich in classic Ducati Red
January 29, 201412 yr Ducati's ‘Ferrari of bikes’ tops motorcycle sales charts The £12,500 Ducati 899 Panigale is December's biggest seller, beating motorcycles costing a fifth of that in the sales chart
January 29, 201412 yr many cost cutting measures, who knows maybe they will make it in Thailand or at least assemble them here. Cool bike! Sent from my GT-N7100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app i was feeling like they will make it here 5 months ago. 599 k thb pliz ducati!
January 30, 201412 yr They'll assemble them here. Target date for release is around mid year, I've heard - but these things usually change so who knows. Meanwhile you can buy them imported for 999k. They had a brief special for 899k when it was introduced. Those on the road right now in CM are the imported ones. White is gorgeous. So is red. This is just one gorgeous bike.
January 30, 201412 yr If you're fairly tall you'll fall a bit out if love with it when you sit on it- I was practically looking down at the front tire when I tested the ergonomics at the Motor Show.
January 30, 201412 yr Just watched a head to head against the MV Augusta. The Ducati won it, but the consensus was that both bikes are horribly flawed.

That is interesting & I agree they are quite striking You know after I got home I flashed on the fact that I thought I remembered seeing it with a single sided swingarm?? But that cannot be right can it? Although I was on the left of the bike & on my bike while looking at it Or does the imported ones have a SSS? I could just be mistaken but I could have sworn that is what I saw But it was a brand new un-plated 899 Panigale & did have the 899 Panigale sticker on the side But they have a conventional swingarm right?
