Not really, unless they changed the design from what I'm looking at.
Perimeter frames connect the steering head to the swing arm in one piece. The Panigale is a two piece frame, (three if you count the engine). Not quite the same thing. Perimeter vs. Panigale: JC

Sorry, I worded that poorly.
All modern Ducati's have used the engine as a stressed member. My point was, the stressed member design has been around for a long time (the 1949 Vincent Black Shadow was such a design) and the design itself would not cause me to worry. JC
