MAT TITANIUM 1199 Panigale Ducati

eeewww.....

 

I kind of like it

 

Yuk

 

Undercoat...

 

Wheels cheapen the look

 

Er, no.

 

Is this an attempt to confuse speed cameras?

 

NO! Got to be red in my book.

 

Quite like the matt look, but not in that colour. Looks like primer.

 

Not for me chef!!

 

Er.... the sort of "red filter" isn't doing it any favours.

If you wanted to do titanium, the wheels to have (and other baubles) would be orange. Now that's a colour scheme.

 

Is it vinyl wrapped? (If it is at least you can return it to stock)

 

Some interesting schemes on the forum link.

Think this must be vinyl wrap, no stickers

 

Primer ?

 

Could it be a set of fairings for the track prior to painting?

Odd thing is that it has a plate on it. The plate is from the canton of Graubunden - where St. Moritz and Davos are. In Switzerland, the plate is personal - it's yours, not the bike's, so you would think that the bike is in for a service and not for sale. Garage demonstrators will have a garage plate, this has a U after the number. So it's not a new bike, and it's not a demonstrator.

If you were selling it, you'd be unlikely to leave your plate on it. The garage will slide in one of theirs which they keep for demonstrators. You can have multiple bikes for one plate, but only one copy of the plate. So it looks like a customer bike which is in for... what? Maybe track preparation.

Maybe the owner just likes matt grey paint. Hmmm.

 

Too neat for primer.

 

probably looks ok in the flesh those pics are pretty poor

although I really like the new R1 matte grey and blue bikes :wink:

this is nice

 

Unlike the gloss black paint job this one doesnt hide the bikes lines
