Ducati 1199 Panigale RS13, a Racers-Only Treat

Here's one piece of fine Italian craftsmanship neither us here or most of you will ever get to sit on: the Ducati 1199 Panigale RS13, the very WSBK machine for the coming season.

Loaded with carbon fiber bodywork to shave off even more from the already amazingly light Panigale, Ducati has been testing the new beast quite thoroughly in the off-season.

Factory riders Carlos Checa and Ayrton Badovini are in charge of finding the best setup before the next WSBK season kick off in February with the Phillip Island race in Australia. We're so looking forward to see how will the new bike ride, especially without the 6 kg penalty balast for the bigger V-twins.

The Mugello teaser with Checa and legendary Troy Bayliss is nice, but by all means we want to see more detailed footage of this wicked monster.
