Ducati 1199 Panigale

[Deej]

So Deej, put any more k's on it yet?

Yup. Was out on in today and went for a ride with Tex.

My first bolt came out too. I was so excited. Was beginning to feel that it wasn't a Real Ducati is its almost done 300ks without something happening!

Wasn't the one that ties the linkage to the shocky was it

Nah, more boring than that. The one that linked the gear lever with the gearbox. Riding home in 1st. Yay.

My Dad collected his 1199S from Frasers yesterday!

Well, it sounds un-fukn-real...
Even with the stock pipes, its loud, snarly and angry as fook.
Dont think he took it past 6k rpm either.

Awesome lookin & soundin machines!
Just gotta steal the keys now...

Dont the dealers run a spanner over the things before flogging them off?
I at this stage highly suggest you do for pice of mind.

Picked mine up today. What can I say, it exceeds expectations.

The most obvious things, it's light and it's loud.

JEALOUS! what did you get Base or S? do you mind if i ask when you put your order down.

finger cross only 37 more days and mine should hopefully be here

Has he just come off a VTR?

Base - Couldn't justify the 'cost vs. benefit' of the S (not to say that others can't). I got Anthony to stick me in the queue on the Easter weekend.

You will love it, and there can be no doubt of that. The quick shifter is the best I've used but it's the lack of weight that really surprised me.
The change in throttle response in the different modes is also fantastic. The only downside which is frankly unavoidable is the heat... it is going
to cook thigh meat in summer.
Anyway, I'm out racking up kays every night this week to get it up to the first service, because it's going on a 1500 kilometre jaunt down south
in a couple of weeks (rain, hail or shine).

I agree with your words.
"IF" I was to go the route of the Panigale I would do the same, go the base model route.

Still flipping the coin on an S1000RR.

very nice! i was in the same frame of mine and went with the base, leaves me some cash to play with "IF" i choose to go down the crazy mod path of carbon...

i really have my eye set of the carbon tail and belly pan

Has he just come off a VTR?

Yep...

*!*!*!*!**!*!*!

double post

[Kaido]

so interesting to see what people are getting fuel wise with the 1199?

2.3 litres per cafe.

[R160]

somewhere between not much and SFA is my bet ;-)

[Rhino]

And as near enough to who gives a shit.

[filbert]

Hopefully nobody has bought one for the fuel economy

A vespa would be a better option than a superbike

[Rich...]

If you are worried about fuel economy...

Do not start thinking about how long a tyre will last, or what it costs...
