THE new Ducati 1199 Superleggera (don?t call it a Panigale?) nearly missed out on this list; only 500 are being made and they?re being offered to existing owners of Desmosedici RRs and earlier R model Ducati superbikes. But since most people who are likely to be interested in such a machine probably meet those criteria, and any unsold Superleggeras will be offered on general sale, it just squeezes in as a bike that ?anyone? could buy. Of course, that ?anyone? needs access to ?54k, or the equivalent of two-and-a-bit Panigale Rs. Yes, the Superleggera is sure to be awesome, but over here the general consensus is that our imaginary money would be more likely to go in the direction of a lightly used Desmosedici RR. Who cares if it?s slower, that MotoGP-derived styling and V4 engine wins us over. For real buyers, though, that?s unlikely to be an issue. They?ll have both.
