Engineered by Ducati for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2014 Ducati Superleggera 1199 features a 1198.4 cc (73.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 200 HP (146 kW) at 11,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 134 Nm (98.8 lb-ft) at 10,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 166.9 HP per liter and a 1,300 rpm working window between peak torque (10,200 rpm) and peak power (11,500 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Superleggera 1199 measures 177 kg (390 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.13 HP/kg (0.89 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,511 mm (59.5 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.
