Well I really picked an interesting day yesterday to pick up my 1199R. The weather was absolutely foul and un-scrubbed Super Corsas in the wet are a bit scary (especially on Fish Hill, Broadway) but not even the weather could wipe the smile off my face 200 miles later she has cleaned-up well. Now I just need to find some rear-sets to replace the ultra slippy OEM pegs as the Lightech's I had on my 1199S don't fit on the "R"; they will be appearing in a marketplace near here soon!
We stayed at Wye Valley for a bit of rock climbing and later at Brecon earlier in the year. The roads were stunning. I'm often tempted to shift down to somewhere more accessible to that area of the country.
At least you were goin up Fish Hill,i hate comin down it,on a side note your Lightec rear sets can fit the r,take them to JHP and they will machine them for you,i was in there today and they have a set on there 1199r race bike and i asked the question,if your are selling them pm me a price over as i quite fancy a set.
I got the Factory Ducati Corse rear sets & they are awesome, they fold too but hopefully I will never need to worry about that ;-)
@Jaystealth - Forgot about that colourway for the Panigale............. it looks incredible..........
