Spy photos and info of the new Ducati 1199 superbike are surfacing around the web, the 1199 was co-developed by Troy Bayliss who has been lapping it at Mugello circuit and according to him it’s a BEAS !! -he managed to match Stoner’s lap time on the GP10-

The bike is called Superquadrata -Super Square- reference to the ultra short stroke of the all new V-twin engine, and as we can see from the spy shots the new bike is a shorter, lighter and much more compact, the new engine will have gear driven cams to maintain the valve timing at high revs.

It’s also rumored that the bike will be frameless -an innovation Ducati patent last year – anyway ECMA is only a couple of month away and thats where we except the new beast will be launched.

A couple of weeks ago we got an email from Ducati UAE inviting us to the opening of the Dubai showroom, we were also asked to register for a chance to win a one-to-one session with Troy Bayless.

We had the time so we decided to drive 1300km to Dubai, be part of the event, race our bikes at the Autodrom, and have dinner with Troy Bayliss.

I had some complications and i ended up flying to Dubai while my friend towed the bikes alone all the way to Dubai, and from the photo above i think he enjoyed the 1300km drive to Dubai 😉 Read more
