Ducati 1199 Panigale

Ducati is at it again, making sexy bikes that cost as much as your favorite economy cars.  Their designs got a bit weird over the last few years, but this is a bike I wouldn't mind owning.

The Ducati 1199 Panigale Superbike (pronounced “Pan-ee-gah-lee”) claims “the most powerful twin-cylinder production engine on the planet”.  Ok.  The 1199 Panigale makes 195hp, weighs only 362lbs, has ABS brakes, traction control, electronic suspension, Engine Brake Control, a ride-by-wire system, and a TFT display.  All that for $18,000 to $28,000.  Video of the 1199 Panigale after the break.
