Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a homologation-special superbike built for expert and track-focused riders, not beginners. |
| Purpose | Its purpose is pure track and canyon-carving performance, blending race-derived electronics with a high-output V2 engine. |
| Rider Fit | The aggressive riding position, high footpegs, and firm suspension demand strong wrists, core, and legs, especially at low speeds or on rough roads. |
| Character | It rewards a precise, committed riding style with razor-sharp handling, immense mid-range torque, and race-bred braking and suspension. |
| Not Ideal For | It is a poor choice for commuting, touring, passengers, or anyone seeking a relaxed, comfortable ride. |

⚠ Safety Recalls (1)
Ducati North America (Ducati) is recalling certain model year 2014 1199 Panigale S version, 1199 Superleggera and 1199 Panigale R version motorcycles. The affected motorcycles may have been built with an improperly manufactured rear shock absorber. The nut on the damper rod for these shock absorbers may loosen, resulting in a loss of damping and the possible disassembling of the shock.
Risk: If the damper rod nut loosens, shock absorber performance would be affected, possibly causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Ducati will notify owners, and dealers will either replace the rear shock assembly or send the shock to the supplier's repair center to be remedied, free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2015. Owners may contact Ducati customer service at 1-800-231-6696. Ducati's number for this recall is RCL-15-002.
