by
£14,765 | 125bhp@7750rpm | 92lb-ft@6500rpm | liquid-cooled boxer twin There’s an obvious problem in trying to evaluate this updated R1200GS Adventure following a launch ride that was done and dusted in time for lunch.

2014 Ducati 899 Panigale review
Posted
by
£12,496 | 898cc liquid-cooled V-twin | 148bhp | 73lb-ft The 899 Panigale looks almost identical to the 1199 that began the Panigale family two years ago, but it’s distinctly different — and not just in its engine capacity.
