stunner, gold wheels, termis, got it all going on i get the 'besotted' bit, did over 250 miles on mine (899) over the weekend, when i got back i just stared at it, shaking my head spanked it a bit, did not miss a beat, and i wasn't fatigued at all, it just ran perfect and made me feel good IMO i think these panis were the last proper good looking ones
Your opinion is quite correct and that’s because they don’t have pointless plastic wings attached to them or sore looking underbelly exhausts. Every line is perfection.
Thank you. I did the Bikesafe course with West Midlands Police on it yesterday. 3 hours in the saddle all told (broken up by debriefs on my observed ride from the police biker riding behind me). The bike never missed a beat and was a joy to ride. The police bikers liked it too. I was a bit wary about the termis (no baffles) being too loud but all they said was " nice bike". Can highly recommend the course.
be interested to know how you get on over the next few months, is it your 1st panigale? ive had a few bikes before but nothing like a panigale IMO its an emotional experience, had a ride out a few weeks ago and came back hating it, in agony, bike was misbehaving (more likely i was), got stuck in traffic a lot, spent a while thinking its not the bike for me, which got me down a bit as i absolutely love it, my whole confidence was dented too. so coming up to this weekend i was nervous, if it wasn't good i'd consider selling it, make or break maybe, but it was the complete opposite an absolute joy, all my emotions were turned on their head. loadsa love i do go out with a club and sometimes they take rubbish routes through traffic, and some of the boys are really slow, rarely going over 40, which is shit for me and the bike, so i might have to stop going pout with them
I moved up from a Ninja 650 so quite a jump. It is my first Panigale. I kind of knew the potential drawbacks before pulling the trigger and buying it but as soon as I got on it and had that first ride I knew it was something special. It does like the higher revs and the more flowing roads but don't we all! When it is on song, on the right road and gear it is like nothing else.
