2014 Ducati 1199 Superleggera[edit | edit source]
Limiting its production to only 500 numbered units, the 2014 MY Ducati 1199 Superleggera is probably one of the most exclusive and priciest series Ducati machines ever to be designed, but also one of the most fun. Extensive use of titanium, carbon fiber and magnesium achieves a dry weight of 155 kg. Add to this the 200+ horsepower and 134 Nm produced by its liquid-cooled, 1198cc, Superquadro L-twin cylinder powerplant with four titanium Desmodromic valves per cylinder, and you get one of the best power to weight ratios in any production bike. Visually, the Italian engineers have decided to go with a more conservative, mellow paint scheme that features a side racing stripe and 1199 Superleggera decals. Another feature to be mentioned are the forged and machined magnesium wheels, which add to the unique touch of this exclusive superbike.
