Found some info about the 899 Panigale that I didn't know before so I thought I would share it with everyone. Feel free to add to the list if you know something you think other people don't as well.
- The 899 Panigale beat the 848 Evo by ~2 second at the Imola race track.

- Ducati says that a fully-set-up and sorted version of the 899 Panigale should improve bhp from 148 bhp to 155 bhp.
- The 899 Panigale has a double-sided swing are, whereas the 1199 Panigale has a single-sided swing arm. Despite this, the 899's swing arm weighs less than the 1199's. Furthermore, if you want to spend the money and don't care about the weight difference, you can fit the 1199's single-sided swing arm onto the 899 Panigale.

- The 899 Panigale is heavier than the 1199 Panigale. This is due to certain parts like the clutch cover, sump and cylinder heads made of aluminum instead of magnesium. The 899 weighs 193 kg, 5kg more than the 1199 Panigale which weighs 188 kg.
- Here are some more differences between the 899 and 1199 Panigale. The bore and stroke differ, along with the intake and exhaust valves which are smaller. The 899's wheelbase is shorter and its suspension is fully-adjustable Shiowa BLF forks at the front and fully-adjustable Sachs rear shock. The LED display is simpler on the 899 Panigale. The 899 does not get any daytime running lights.
