*both prices ex-showroom pan-India
SuperSport has been priced in the UK at 10,955 pounds (~ 9.30 lakhs INR) whereas the more aggressive Supersport S will set you back by 12,495 pounds (~ 10.60 lakhs INR). They have been recently launched in Malaysia at RM80,899 & RM88,899 which is roughly equal to 12.39 Lakh INR and 13.61 Lakh INR respectively.
Basically the SuperSport family is intended to be little more relaxed than the Panigale 959, targeting buyers who do not want an outright super-committed riding posture. It is more of an everyday superbike as the Ducati supremo also said during the unveil conference. Just to clarify, it is a sportsbike and not a sports tourer!
