European Editor Bruno dePrato visits the Bologna factory to watch an 1199 Power Twin come to life!
Ducati allowed me to walk the production line of the 1199 Panigale, arguably the most advanced V-Twin in production today. The assembly line is that of the Desmosedici V-Four, completely refurbished and retooled. If it weren’t for the scent of special sealants and lubricants, the place would pass for a surgical operating theater. When I stepped into it, my mind went back to when I was working at Ducati....
Lots of great photos - quite a contrast to the vintage assembly line video we posted HERE last week. It's a pretty big deal to take photos on the Ducati factory floor so when you see something like this it's something special
