The details from the dealer’s website are as follows:
1299 R Final Edition
Today we will begin a teasing campaign for the 1299 R Final Edition which we will then launch in full detail over the Laguna Seca Moto GP weekend, July 7-9th. However, in order to help you answer questions about this important new model, we have attached for you the technical specs and Q&A. In the meantime, here are some key bits of information:
- Price: £34,995
- Availability: We anticipate first deliveries will take place in September 2017.
- Quantity available: While there is not a stated limit, orders will be supplied on a first come, first served basis and we anticipate there will quickly be a waiting list. We will update you regularly on status of the list and anticipated delivery availability.
Key differences vs 1299 Superleggera; there are details in the attached Q&A, but for simplicity, we have also highlighted some key differences here:
| 1299 Panigale R Final Edition | 1299 Superleggera | |
| Dry weight | 168 KG | 156 KG |
| Wet weight no fuel | 179 KG | 167 KG |
| Kerb weight | 190 KG | 178 KG |
| Maximum Power | 209.4 HP @ 11,000 RPM | 215 HP @ 11,000 RPM |
| Peak Torque | 104.7 NM @ 9,000 RPM | 108 NM @ 9,000 RPM |
The discrepancy in claimed power between the 1299 Superleggera and 1299 Panigale R Final Edition is due to a change in the method of power measurement (chassis dynamometer for the Superleggera, engine dynamometer for the Final Edition).
The key engine differences between the 1299 Panigale R FE and the 1299 Superleggera are the use of steel cylinder liners, steel fasteners and a die cast crank case in the 1299 Panigale R FE.
