Ducati Panigale 1199 RS13 pricing

And it's not pocket money...

DUCATI'S race-specialist Panigale was announced late last year, and has finally been slapped with a hefty price tag (to say the least). The RS13 will set you back £114,198 (€134,000). 

The incredible looking beast is designed to be track-ready and is aimed squarely at race teams, a building block for a competitive professional race bike. Certainly not within the reach of the man on the street - especially when you consider that the bike is stripped of most things you need to make it road legal and you must be an accredited race team to buy one. 

It is eligible for most domestic and world superbike series, and is meant to serve as the foundation for an evolving race bike. The RS13 is designed to be the ideal starting point for a development program (meaning the costs don't stop once you've bought the thing). 

'Sadly', the average customer will probably have to content themselves with the road-worthy Panigale 1199 S. Not such a bad compromise, we're sure you'll agree...
