Video: Ducati 959 Panigale Takeover

We’ve managed to get our grubby mitts on one of the first Ducati 959 Panigales to make it to the UK. Bologna’s revised hyper middleweight – not surprisingly – seriously impressed during the circuit-based launch in Valencia, although UK roads offer a very different set of challenges/dead badgers, especially with current conditions. 

Baron won the fabled soggy biscuit contest, so blagged the keys for the first week and furnished us with his initial thoughts. There’s also a walkaround and brief discussion regarding changes over the 899.

Next week is all about the 959’s rivals and we’ve got some tasty head-to-heads lined up, so stay tuned…
