Ducati 899 Panigale CKD – RM89,888

The Ducati 899 Panigale is not a new bike to the market, it was first launched last year, but at that time it was imported and cost RM108,888 (US$34,000).

But even then Ducati had announced that it would start assembling the bike in ASEAN, and that time has now come. The 899 Panigale is now being assembled in Thailand alongside the Diavel and Monster. And at R93,888 (US$29,300) is a full RM15,000 (US$4,700) cheaper than before.

But if you book the bike now, Ducati Malaysia is giving a special promotion of just RM89,888 (US$28,100) to the first 50 buyers. The baby Panigale has appeared to be quite a surprise, we rode it Zhuhai just a few weeks ago and came away impressed.

It’s a thrilling combination of a high-revving engine, lightweight and full-on electronics that all combine to make you feel like a hero! On track, it is a true showcase of your riding skills. Keep the engine at high rpm, brake late, lean on the electronics and it will reward you with an adrenalin charged good time.

It is built around a monocoque chassis concept and is powered by a new 899 ‘Superquadro’ L-Twin engine that gives you 148hp @ 10,750rpm and 99Nm of torque @ 9,000rpm. Some of the on board technology includes MotoGP derived ABS, Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES), Ducati Quick-Shift (DQS) and Ducati’s new race-derived Engine Brake Control (EBC) and Ride-by-Wire (RbW).
