Panoramic from WDW2012
Fri, 29 Jun 2012
Never in my life have I seen so many Ducatis, but then that's hardly surprising as I took this photo at World Ducati Week 2012, in Misano, last week.
Although I knew it was going to be packed from wall-to-wall with the Bologna-made bikes, I never realised there would be so many Panigales there. Of all of the big-cc sportsbikes, I reckon one in five was a Panigale. In a press release I read a couple of months ago, Ducati claimed they couldn't keep up with demand, I took that with a pinch of salt but after seeing the paddock at WDW, I can believe it.
