neither... those are easy accessories to get in the aftermarket

 

[SpeedyGonzales]

Not really tempted from what they have listed. Most of those added parts I would rather get aftermarket.

Should have added that to the thread and poll! Too late now.

If I had to pick one I guess it would be the Sport Pack.

You can choose both, I'll consider getting both since I can use things the touring package has, like the Anit-Theft system.

If you don't mind me asking, what is the price for each pack?:smile2:

Thx in advance!

That's one thing I didn't see on the site, otherwise I would have included it. Any guesses as to how much we can expect to pay for them?

 

[SpeedyGonzales]

Maybe the packs will be priced similar to the ones available for the Panigale 1299.
The Panigale 1299 Sport pack is £ 843.42 adn the Touring is £ 629.90. Somewhere around that price I would guess but maybe a bit less?

 

[hamoncyte]

Just asked in Spain, no prices yet. Expect delivery of the new rides by the end of Jan. 2016.

 

[SpeedyGonzales]

Thanks for checking hamoncyte. Guess we'll have to wait until they release the prices either to the dealerships first or online on the Ducati site. Think the Panigale 1299 aftermarket parts will fit the 959? At least in terms of the parts available in the packages like the aluminium fuel cap, carbon sprocket cover kit, etc.

The dealer might be able to tell if their parts systems have that listed, just don't know if that's information they want to disclose.

They were waiting for the prices to be uploaded on their database. They said both kits were to be installed by them, not coming from factory preinstalled.

The sports pack from the 899 is around 900€ in Spain (50€ up, 50€ down, mental note, hehe) and the touring pack around 750€.

It should be sth similar, showrooms should have some updates during the next 2 weeks.

Oh, bikes are being delivered from factory during this week, so the first units will be arriving during Xmas, in Spain at least.

 

[moto]

900€ isn't as much as I thought it would be. Gonna have to wait a bit after Xmas for one because I'll be broke after the holidays. >.<
750€ for the Touring may be a bit much depending on the person. I really don't see much on that list I'm willing to pay OEM prices for.

 

[hamoncyte]

Prices in Spain, VAT incl.:

Sport pack - 955,90€
Touring pack - 713,90€

These are compatible for the 899, 1199 and 1299 models, therefore we can expect the price of these will be shared with the 959!

The saving is of approx. a 14%, compared to if we purchase the stuff separately.

 

[SpeedyGonzales]

Currency converted to USD:
$1048.34 for sport
$782.93 for touring

Just for a general idea of what they'll cost in the U.S.

Not bad pricing.

Not bad pricing.

Maybe the Touring pack is worth considering if it is viable or not... As there are lots of aftermarket things that are equivalent (alarm, on-deposit bsg, etc.)

 

[corsa]

Some people I know just want to get on and ride, leaving the bike close to factory and going with what ever they can option it with from the dealer, so for those people there will be great value in these. But i'm sure those willing to venture out to the aftermarket they'll do well with finding alternatives.
