Ducati 1199 Panigale Cafè Fighter by

.
Ducati 1199 Panigale by Gannet Design's.
The café-fighter
name comes from the mix of café and fighter which
Ulfert Janssen mixed in his design.
The rear section
of the bike was removed and a solo seat is all that remains, providing an
exceptionally aggressive riding stance and matching looks. The underbelly volume
enhances the visual balance of the Panigale, stressing out the centralized mass
of the bike.
The tank is the original 1199 unit, but the paint was stripped off it and
replaced with a brushed metal livery in the same unforgiving red nuance, matched
by the rim stripes, engine block color and other accents, such as the spring of
the offset rear shock and the top-fork adjusters. The decorative element which
shrouds the tank helps redefining the entire design of the bike. Add in a
Monster-esque headlight for an even more classic attire, with the tail lights
possibly integrated into the seat for a compact look.
