The new Ducati Panigale has taken its design cues from its elder sibling Ducati 1299 with some blueprints of its predecessor; the Ducati 899 like the bike has the same 10 spoke alloy wheels, Brembo brakes and double side swing arms. The air scoops are larger than the one used on the 899, may be because it has a larger engine on this bike, also the bike receives freshly made side view mirrors, and otherwise the styling of the Ducati 959 Panigale is expected to remain unchanged barring few tweaks. Despite the larger engine, the 959 Panigale has lower hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emission levels than the 899, an attempt to meet new Euro 4 emission standards which come into effect in Europe on January 1st, 2016.

Apart from these spy photos of a disguised 2016 Ducati 959 Panigale going viral, nothing else is officially known about the bike. As India has a number of motor enthusiasts, spotting a Ducati 959 Panigale on the road would surely be a sight. Prices would definitely have some variation from the 899 Panigale, due to the new tweaks. The Ducati 959 Panigale will make its debut at the EICMA motorcycle show in November.
