T
he Ducati 1299 Panigale is, without question, one of the fastest, most
brutal machines you can possibly purchase for everyday transport. It's
uncompromising in nature, obnoxiously loud in color and sound and
undeniably, unapologetically sexy.
It's like a Playboy bunny mixed with Courtney Love with extra mad on top.
It's got presence, style. The blood red of its shell hides a glut of speed that
makes even a GSX-R600, itself a fine example of engineering and velocity,
feel slower than your mom's old hatchback.

A Ducati 1299
Panigale S and a
Los Angeles canyon
are wonderful
partners. It's
surprisingly good
in traffic, too.
