I guess you could look at that two ways. Why not , if it doesn't bust your back then crack on , or also why the hell would you put all that on a hyper sports bike when you could do it better on a bike built for mile munching at touring speeds?
Lol - I always used to ride to trackdays and back. Now I go in a van with tools tyre warmes etc etc... I might go back to the riding approach with all my kit like ths Rode to the Slovakia Ring the week before last. 1100 miles in two days - was expecting to have comfort issues but didn't at all. My luggage was somewhat smaller than our Aussie counterpart
I rode through Europe a few weeks ago on a pani. Only really stopped for fuel, the comfort seat killed my ass but other than that no problems.
I tried the standard seat out today and found it slightly better, however the heat difference is massive !
I went to Scotland last week the only problem was get on/off the bike with short legs, standard seat was fine
That's the way to best tour on a Panigale. I went to the south of Italy a few years back with a load more weight and it was still awesome but once I removed some stuff the bike was so much more fun. It's badass that the Australian guy is doing all that crazy stuff but I doubt he's able to remove it all to properly enjoy the bike when he gets to some good roads.
In hands of my mate a lot better, they also have a lot more power also better wind protection and a more up right riding position, not much in acceleration tho on our recent test on a private road I was hitting 130 and he was getting 150
I've done a weekend ride with loads of petrol stops, don't know if that's touring lol. This bike will sit all day at high speed, it's the most stable bike I've had. I would never get some sort of touring screen, would be asking for trouble.
