Hi Folks well my 1198 has gone and my new baby got picked up today, just got to work out how all the switches and bits work, taking her down to Daren at MCT on Tuesday to get the suspension set up, and a few bits to buy along the way, has any one got a ventura rack for it? i have got an 1198-1098-848 rack and L brackets for sale i will put them on the parts for sale later
oohhh,ooohhh let me know how you find it mate im thinking of the same change,but thinking of the 1299 route, i do love my 1198 but the new pani does look amazing.
Well i've ridden it today fantastic, going out tomorrow to Snetterton BSB give it another bash, still trying to work out all the switches i have traded in a 1198 to buy that one, that was a nice bike but a pig to ride around low revs
yeah i agree but in a funny way i like the stubborness of it. but as said i love the panigale, did you ride the 899 at all??
Yes i did, my son rides a 675 daytona he keeps saying the 899 would be better for me, so i took one out for a ride, i did say to him i wouldnt go to fast! i red lined it 3 times down little country lanes, i think i may shag the engine quicker than my old 1198, then i took the 1199 out fantastic, plenty of grunt, decided that was the one for me, still smilling:Happy:
Yeah only had it a couple of weeks and yes just outside Norwich Where are you ? As I see it was picked up from seastar
Not to far away then I live near Loddon No I bought mine from Moto Rapido 2012 with 1700 miles on the clock and cheaper than the tinklers bike lol
Hi guys and girls i managed to take mine down to MCT last week to have the suspension set up, un- believable, the set up was a tad hard for road use in sport mode he has now changed the oil and springs and set up the TTX and electronic settings, smoother on normal roads, lighter too turn, changing from sport to wet is fantastic, he has softened up the wet mode for rubbish surfaces also back to 120 bhp (as normal) but you can scream her through all gears, when you put it race mode its insane!
As a matter of interest, could you share with us the details of the changes done to your bike ? I have become used to my 1199s in standard trim, Sports mode, but am curious about the softer suspension you have fitted. Thanks in anticipation
To be honest, it was Daren at MCT that has sorted it out, i know he has softened the suspension via electronics on Wet mode and a little on sport, but most was changing the oil springs and fitting new valves and spacers to the front end, i now know he his booked up until September/October but give him a ring 01449777161 he is very busy!
