2014 Ducati 1199 Superleggera
Few vehicles on earth or in the sky can brag about having a power-to-weight ratio over 1:1. The 1199 Superleggera is one of them, with a 200-horsepower Testastretta engine housed in a compact package that weighs only 155kg. You can have fun with it on the road, sure; but its domain will always be the track. At full throttle, this Ducati delivers blood-chilling power and sound effects. Thank God it also features all the latest control devices out there.
It's one of the rare motorcycles that can make you feel like you're bungee jumping next to a symphony orchestra. Forget about a leisurely ride; the Ducati 1199 Superleggera demands nothing but your A-game, and comes very close to a WSBK steed.
