959 New V2 Panigale

  1. Can't wait, the 959 didn't tempt me to change from my 899 but now my bike is over 5 years old and got 33K on it I should probably change it next year.

    However the thought of getting rid of my 899 makes me sad:(, so it better be good. (Alternatively I might buy a low mileage 899 :laughing: ).

    RBW.

  6. It's called marketing.
     
  7. Like it! I like it that much I am considering getting one in the New Year when they come with a free exhaust
     
  8. It's a stunning bit of kit. Released at the time mine is ending its agreement. Very very tempted
     
  9. What’s the price of V2 is there an S version ??

  10. Fairings still look too small (by half) in my opinion. Like the bastard love child of the Supersport and 1299.

  11. Know what you mean about the fairing, it looks like they’ve shoved the V4 fairing on it and made it look chubbier for no reason when the V2 is a really slim bike, also the seat unit is too truncated for my liking, it unbalances the styling and makes the bike look front heavy?

    5bhp is not enough of a performance hike, torque is near enough the same, exhaust looks ok on the silencer side but looks a bit odd on the chain side.
    No word of an S version with leccy Öhlins and light wheels?

    I like the tft dash and SSSwingarm, but it doesn’t make me want to throw my 899 and another £8 grand of cash at it ??

  13. Looks even more like a cut and shut than the previous versions. Those fairings, what were they thinking? They make the bike look so long.

  15. I think I prefer that look than the 959 if I'm honest.

    The swing arm helps obviously, as does the better exhaust routing, might have a butcher's at one when they land
     
  16. Dramatic vid...
