For sale is my 2016 959 Panigale, which is an absolute blast to ride. I don't think I've ever left a ride without a smile on my face. Also, one of the most beautiful bikes on the road. For the $14,000 you get a like new bike, which is $1,695 less than new. Also, you don't have to pay for the 600 mile check up, which you would have to do with a new bike which is around $400. Also, I just had the oil changed at around 5,500 miles, so the 7,500 mile check up will cost less as an oil change is part of the service. All this adds up to around $2,500 in savings when compared to buying a brand new bike. For that kind of money, you could get new racing leathers, boots, gloves and a helmet to hit the track with!Performance: 955cc engine that, in combination with DQS (Ducati Quick Shift), makes for a 0-60 time somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 seconds. This is faster than many of it's 4 wheeled Italian bretheren. It also has 3 modes (Rain, Sport, and Race) that you can customize whether you use DQS, how much traction control, and how much brake assist. Adjustable suspension front and rear with Showa front fork and Sachs rear suspension. Dual discs in the front and Feels incredibly planted in the twisties, and screams down the straights. Sound: You really cant beat it. When you hear a 959 fire up, you know it's the real deal. The muscular tone of a twin sounds much different when compared to the higher pitch of an inline 4 cylinder.History: It has NEVER been dropped and has been garage kept it's whole life. Never been taken to the track or abused. Never been washed with a hose, always hand sprayed and cleaned with microfiber cloths (Ducati electronics are like cats, they hate to get wet). Never ridden in the rain because this has not been my primary vehicle and I always check the weather before heading out. Always kept up with maintenance (chain lube, washing, etc.) and has had all fluid changes done at Ducati of Austin. I just had the oil changed at around 5,500 miles, so the 7,500 mile check up will cost less because that is part of the service. Also, has a brand new rear tire, the front will need to be replaced when the rear runs out. Still under 24 month factory warranty. This is an incredible bike, don't miss out on this opportunity to turn heads and have the ride of your life!
