At the heart of the 2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale sport motorcycle, Ducati features a 1198 cc (73.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 195 HP (142.3 kW) at 10,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 133 Nm (98.1 lb-ft) at 9,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 162.8 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (9,000 rpm) and peak power (10,750 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the 1199 Panigale measures 188 kg (414 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.04 HP/kg (0.96 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,430 mm (56.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
