The International Motorcycling Federation has released a list of homologated motorcycles for the 2012 Superbike, Supersport, Superstock and Formula Endurance World Endurance championships. The list includes all the motorcycles that are allowed to compete in each of those world championships. Notable for its absence however is the new 2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale.
Ducati had previously announced the 1199 Panigale would not make its WSBK debut until 2013, deciding to introduce the new sportbike to the FIM Superstock 1000 Cup in 2012. The FIM’s homologation list however lists only one Ducati for the Superstock series: the Ducati 1198S.
Does this mean the Ducati 1199 Panigale won’t be racing this season? No.
