Life with a Ducati 1299...

...begins in 2 weeks!!

Perfect weather for 205bhp and Supercorsa SPs I hear you say.

Getting custom graphics done for first time ever. Just need to decide what i want. Something not unlike the Panigale R is my thinking.

God I'm excited.

 

If there was a jealous button I would be pressing it !

 

lovely mate, congrats

 

Yep, love it, less is more with graphics I feel, the 'R' graphics certainly hit the sweet spot.

Personally I think the Tricolor stuff has been done a bit too much.

Do they have to get the bike in from Italy?

 

No they've kindly held their last base one available before xmas for me for a few weeks. Its coming from Preston next week then meet graphics guy sort that then done.

If anybody is thinking of a 959 I've heard the 1299 stock cans will fit under the belly like rest of world model. I'll have some as garage ornaments after 1st service.

 

Nice, u will probably get some good money for them. I'm gonna put this it there, u can take it.. Or u can send it right back but..... Gold wheels??

I'm desperate for a set on mine, potentially sprayed standard ones but would love some OZ Piega's

 

I might save the gold wheels for a 40th present. Wheels are the one thing i will change at some point in the years ahead to the 1299S or R ones.

 

Yeah, good shout, will save some weight for sure

 

Need to sort graphics tomorrow. I'm thinking I like the simplicity of the superleggera look yet I also like how the Moto Rapido one was done.

I think I'll definitely have something at the front of the tank with Ducati Corse logo.

Rest I'm still undecided on.

Any thoughts?

 

The stock 1299 w/o graphics of guy I was sharing a garage with was enough to give me a Woody for two days at the track last week. Oh, and the noise it made down the back straight

 

I was going to message u, what about something similar to the Aruba WSBK panel design without the sponsors, otherwise I don't think u can beat the superlegerra one

 

Fwiw my vote is for the Moto Rapido.
Until now I've kept quiet on this, because none of the schemes I've seen particularly impressed me.
However, to my mind anyway, the Moto Rapido scheme looks "just right" somehow.
I do like gold wheels though......

 

bottom one for me

 

@Phill748 You mean something like this?

Quick photoshop job

 

A bit more effort and i quite like this what do you reckon? I would keep the nose simple with the white number board from the R look. Side on view could be this

@TripleJimmy do you mean make the middle panel white and the entire block above white all the way to the front?

 

Quick poll of friends and work mates says go with either the R as it's subtle and still looks classy.

Or go balls deep and go for this

 

Is the belly pan black ? ( it looks grey in that piccy) looks very smart
