Yea, it's funny though.  They're touting the engine as stressed member, meanwhile Ducati MotoGP is struggling with their stressed member engine design and they are going away from it and the carbon frame..

Am scared to see what this thing will cost...

I don`t care if it`s a stressed member or not - I`ll take one.  The colour and single-sided swing-arm will match my VFR very nicely indeed. If only in this lifetime :(.

According to Ducati, the 1199 Panigale is bred for the track and trained for the road, and will be priced for the US market at $17,995 for the standard version, $22,995 for the “S” version, $23,995 for “S” version with ABS and $27,995 for the Italian heritage-inspired Tricolore version. The new model will be available early in 2012.

I think this is reasonable for what you get.
