Buyer’s Guide Model Detail







Buyer's Guide > 959 Panigale
Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
Ducati has thrown a wrench into the works by producing an open-class middleweight. What was once the 748, which competed against 600 cc bikes in the showroom and on the racetrack, has evolved into the 959 Panigale -- now almost a litre bike -- thanks to a longer stroke bumping displacement to 955 cc, producing 157 hp. The good news is that you get a manageable powerband (as opposed to the explosive one on the 1299) for all-day track riding, at $5,400 less than its big brother to boot.
