Remember the modified Jon Olsson Lamborghini's or his Audi R8 which where modified to hit the slopes with him? Well, seeing how the Ducati Panigale is the ultimate motorcycle right now, as !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , this is what comes to mind when I think of an extreme all-rounder.
According to Ducati dealer !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! the only mods where the Wheels, which belong to a 1098, the custom exhaust with crash guard (they replaced the Termignonis exhaust just in case they banged up the bike a bit).
I recomend watching the video on mute or low volume as the soundtrack is not of my liking (on such occasions people really have to learn to live the natural noise on for some NSFW engine noise).
As far as suspension components nothing was changed, since the Panigale S allows you to modify the setting from the dashboard.
We painted the bodywork that Desert Storm color then, depending on your perspective, raised or lowered the suspension. We dropped the forks as low as we could in the triple and raised the shock’s ride height as much as possible; the idea being to max out the ground clearance. it probably only got us a half inch or so, but that’s something. Then, we went through the suspension settings and made everything as soft as possible so we could mimic an off-road bike’s travel.”
“As you know, with a Panigale S it’s all electronic, so we just went into the dash and altered the programming.”
In my opinion, "This is madness!" of the good kind. Although I don't own a 1199 or a bike at all, I've always been attracted to the ninja looks, but always knew that for a third world country, it's not exactly suited for all roads. If I were MotoCorsa, I would think about offering such a package to other dealers world wide where the application could help out the customer. I for one, would gladly put them in contact with my local Ducati dealer, just to see one in off-roading action.

a: his wheelstand method is awesome!
b: this looks incredible!
c: this reminds me of the guy who went round the word on an R6
d: wonder if a sport bike's riding position would suck for off roading
