Is HRH Prince William Getting a Ducati 1199 Superleggera? [Photo Gallery]

Ducati 1199

HRH Prince William, Duke of Cambridge has visited the Ducati stand at the Motorcycle Live even in Birmingham, England.

He was greeted by Tim Maccabee, Ducati UK Ltd Managing Director, who introduced him to the all-new Monster 1200, one of the bikes which Ducati will be selling quite well, if we review the warm welcome it got at 2013 EICMA.

Approaching the Diavel, the Duke was prompted by one of the visitors to get on the bike, and he did not hesitate to do so, trying the bike for size and seeming to enjoy it quite a lot, as it looked lika perfect fit.

Prince William also met former Ducati British Superbike Champion, Shane Byrne and got the chance to throw a leg over the Ducati 1199 Superleggera, one of the most exclusive bikes we got from Borgo Panigale in quite a while.

Now, it's no doubt that HRH Prince William has the money to get a Superleggera, and judging by his smile in the pictures, it looks like he'd gladly get one. Problem is, we're not sure there any left from the 500-piece run...
