Bradders. Thank you….was looking at bikes with the electronic suspension and getting confused. So the gen 2 is the R alongside the 1299 range, but is actually 1199 presumably for race rules. Clear now (I think)
1199r is gen 1. This has Termi underbelly exhausts. Based on Pani 1199. Panigale R is gen 2. Akra underbelly exhausts. 1198 (not 1199) cc. Based on Pani 1299. Panigale 1299 FE (final edition). Not a homologation bike. Akra wheelbarrow exhausts. Not an R.
You’ve just answered the question I was about to ask…..lots of FEs out there for sale. Many thanks for the clarity…
I give you the 1299 Panigale R Final Edition Owner’s Manual, https://assets.ctfassets.net/oifkva...nigale_R_Final_Edition__E4__GBR_MY18_ED00.pdf. Like it or not, with or without the racing pedigree, the 1299 R FE is an R and is a far better bike than the Panigale 1199R and Panigale R ever were. No emoji for nah, na, na, na, nah, raspberry Andy
1299R FE is an R, just not homologation model R. It has, from what Wilf told me, a lot of SL 2 engine parts so pretty special too. Like Gen 2 pani R but with extra 100cc or so
Yes, I should have said not all the exotic materials, https://www.ducati.com/ww/en/bikes/panigale/1299-panigale-r-final-edition and I just noticed, the Desmo valve check service is every 7,500 miles Andy
