1299 Panigale R Final Edition specs confirmed

Ducati has officially revealed its 1299 Panigale R Final Edition. This new tri-colour bike essentially combines a Panigale R chassis set-up with an engine taken from the 1299 Superleggera.

Each example will be individually numbered, but Ducati hasn't imposed a limit on production volumes. A price of £34,995 (plus on-the-road costs) should ensure the Final Edition's rarity, though.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives
