Hi Vince, I got my 1199s the beginning of October 14, I had an 09 KTM RC8R before hand, the KTM is the best bike i've ever had for torque, handling & comfort but was lacking sum what in late mid & top end power. The Pani is awesome but bloody uncomfortable, but i am slowly getting used to it tho, does put a huge grin on my face every time it ride it & look at it.
I have the dark coming January just traded my 899 in for it as that lacked a lot of mid range power. Got an 848 street fighter at home and that has more grunt in 3rd than the 899 and so did my 848 ego. Roll on spring. Have you looked at getting a different seat with bit more padding for comfort. I have seen dome nice ones around £120.
Nice 1, the power on this is awesome, u r gonna love it mate, yes I have the comfort seat, it's a huge improvement, the standard seat was good for about 400 miles then started to get less grippy, apart from that I really can't fault it, I also got a Sato swinging arm adjuster so I can alter the rear ride hightat the turn of a spanner, the original u have to take off each time.
Yep it the official Ducati seat, I must admit I had an 899 as a courtesy bike when mine went in for its 1st service, was nice but so very flat n sluggish compared to the 1199s, I have had all the 1ltr sports bikes apart from an Aprilia, the 1199s is the most awesome of the lot, the RC8R was the best handling bike n most comfortable tho, the stealth black certainly pulls a crowd too, u r gonna absolutely love it.
MY streetfighter is mat black and my 848 evo was too they do draw quite a crowd and the 899 did to had that in mat white, I've never had a red Ducati. Your only down in Kent so hopefully might bump into you in the spring?
be good to meet up for a blast mate, keep me posted when u get ta bike too, are u on facebook at all? If not il pm u my number (if I can sus out how to private message on here).
