The Final Edition Ducati 1299 Panigale R was unveiled at the eighth round of the World Superbike Championship on July 8, 2017, by Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali at Laguna Seca, California, USA. Now, a few days after its international debut, Ducati has launched the bike in India for Rs 59.18 lakh (ex-showroom, Pune), while the on-road price goes up to Rs 74.80 lakh in the city. Dealers have started accepting bookings for the bike and potential buyers can book the bike by paying a token amount of Rs 5 lakh. The bike will be imported from Ducati’s factory in Italy once the booking is done. The average waiting period is 30-40 days after the order is placed. The Panigale’s new tri-colour livery takes its roots from the Italian flag. To maintain exclusivity of the motorcycle, Ducati will number each unit of the motorcycle till the production continues.
