It’s an amazing bike but that workshop gives me a bigger hard on

Re: Dreams Matter
I love the tech on it but its far from the best looking special Ducati have produced.
The wings ruin the look.

Re: Dreams Matter
I appreciate the look of the wings as I'm a sucker for function over form.
They're completely unnecessary on the road where most owners will occasionally use it though

Re: Dreams Matter
There was an 1199 version (2014)
.
and a 1299 version (2017). I think the 1299 is the more desirable (carbon wheels and special Akra system) but the 1199 is prettier.

Re: Dreams Matter
I prefer the 1299 but suspect the original 1199 version may prove the better investment long term.

Re: Dreams Matter
The 1199 is absolutely beautiful but I never liked the exhaust on the 1299... function over form didn't cut the mustard on that for me.
According to 44T the superleggera was also the easiest to ride (1199).

Re: Dreams Matter
It's beautiful but super-sizing the wings hasn't done it any favours. I like the older one with the Marlboro-looking paint job better.
