Ducati 1299 Panigale S 2016

With its roaring two-cylinder and heavenly looks, it still steals the show from the other bikes in the paddock when unloaded. The electronics package seems perfect, but the chassis is a little too radical. The V2 will thrill fans but could overtax rookies in the saddle.

Great electronics package

great shift assistant

looks to die for

fast as hell in expert hands

Exhausting on corner exit

narrow rev band

strong heat radiation to the rear end

For me, the most noticeable of all the innovations were the electronics and the steering geometry. Thanks to the additional information of the new steering angle sensor and the revised riding aids, the new S1000RR now has an electronic package with which you can not only ride safely, but also quickly, which will especially please the faster faction. But with a few additional features such as Slide Control, the average rider also has the opportunity to try out the riding style of the pros without risk, in order to cut a good figure in riding photos. And apart from that, it's also fun. The new steering geometry brings a little more calmness to the front and improves feedback, which is an invaluable advantage, especially at the limits. So the next round in the hunt for the best superbike is reopened.

Very good electronics or control systems

Good feedback

Good stability

Engine vibrations
