Although at first glance looks identical to the old 899, the new Ducati 959 Panigale comes with some fresh updates. First photographed in Bologna, Italy, the new 959 Panigale displays some different lines in comparison with the 899 when analyzing every detail.
Bodywork seems the same as the one shared by the bigger 1299 Panigale. The two air intakes are larger on the 959 in comparison with the 899 most likely due to the bigger power plant. Also, at the left side of the fairing there is a small gap where the engine can be seen along with the Ducati badge. This feature is absent on the 899.
But the new Ducati 959 Panigale seems to share a number of components with the old 899 like the suspensio, brakes, exhausts and possible the single sided swing-arm. The new Ducati 959 will be available for public display at the EICMA Motor Show in Milan starting 16 of November along with other eight new models.
