Ducati Superbike 1199 Panigale - Checkmate

The Ducati 1199 Panigale is in my mind one of the most anticipated motorcycle releases this year.  The all new superbike brings with it many technological firsts, including the first full-LED headlight on a motorcycle, the first electronically adjustable suspension on a sport bike, the first engine braking control system, as well as the first GPS-assisted data acquisition system for a production motorcycle (the DDA+ package is optional). 

In addition to all of the new electronic toys the 1199 is stated to have a dry weight of 361 lbs (22 lbs less than the 1198) and 195 peak horsepower.  I can't wait to take one out for a romp.
