When Chris, the owner of the supercharged orange E92 M3 previously featured on this site, told me he had bought a motorbike I knew it would end up being something special.
Sure enough, he couldn't leave his Ducati 899 Panigale stock for long - going all out and fitting it with a 1199 single sided swingarm along with a host of other goodies.
A few photos from the shoot are below, to see more and read the details of the build grab a copy of Fast Bikes Magazine (UK).
This is the first of very few Ducati 1199 Superleggeras to hit Perth streets. Only 500 of these amazing machines were produced worldwide with only a handful making it to Western Australia.
They are the pinnacle of Ducati engineering, producing 200hp to propel a 155kg motorbike. You can read more about the details and specs here.
The owner of this example loves his so much that he is planning to sell his Desmosedici!
The Panigale is the newest superbike from Ducati and this was one of the first to be delivered in Perth. I met up with the owner in an underground carpark in the city and was very pleased with the results. I shot these using a Canon 5D2, 70-200 and a couple of strobes.
