Watch and Hear the 2014 Ducati 899 Panigale on the Highway

So far, the 899 Panigale is probably one of the Ducati machines that are rather hard to get to, but this doesn't mean that certain fellows aren't lucky enough to have ridden one already. So without much ado, here's one of the latest videos of the 899 in highway action.

A smaller, yet equally fun version of the 1199 Panigale, the 899 machine packs the same Italian spirit that has inspired entire generations of riders. A classic V-twin-powered sport machine, the 899 Panigale can be ridden on a daily basis, and even be used for commuting.

Not exactly a tourer, the 899 is however less punishing for the rider than his track-minded siblings. Coupling this with the more affordable price and the prestigious badge yields a nifty road racer that can be used in a wide variety of scenarios.

If you're into v-twin machines, then you'll love the sound of the 899 Panigale, even though these guys preferred to stay on the safe side and not break any rules. Speed limits, that is.

Speaking of full speed and the roar of the engine, it looks like we'll have to wait for some German guys to take the 899 for a spin on the Autobahn, so we can see and hear the true nature of this beast. Likewise, adding aftermarket exhausts from Ducati's traditional partner Termignoni or from Akrapovic will certainly make things even better.

But since in Germany it's still a bit too cold for taking the Panigale's rev counter to the limit, all we can do is wait for the spring. Enjoy your jealousy!
