Hi all, Just thought I would introduce myself and share a few images with you. I appear like many, to be going through a mid life crisis as I have decided to get a bike after having not ridden one for nearly 23 years!!! I have calmed down somewhat over the years but still have a love for sports/superbikes. After convincing myself I wanted a Ducati a recent visit to my local Dealer to have a look at the 848 EVO I was disappointed in the size and how the bike looked in the flesh when particularly the images of the bike, particularly the Corse looked amazing. To be honest I was gutted. However, all was not lost. Whilst approaching the 848 I had to walk past a Panigale S. OMG, I fell for it's looks and size immediately. Long story short, I have got to have one, whether it be a base model or the S I'm not fussy. Having fallen for this bike I booked flight to Milan in November to have a look at the Panigale R amongst other things. A few images for you to digest initially, (it had to be done). Sorry about the quality. I got the lens and just about everything wrong as I hadn't used my DSLR for a "Long" time. I'll upload images of the Panigale R in a moment or two.
Better get one quick then hadn't I! Yeah that would be superb. I'm buying this and all my mates except one don't seem to be going through the same mid life crisis, so it would be great to get out and about again meeting new enthusiasts alike.
Hello and welcome! I see you had a difficult choice to make! It must have taken ages to make your mind up.
I'm not entirely sure! I think there might have been one or two. Might create another thread with those pics in.
