200 miles on my Panigale Tricolore S

Discussion in 'Panigale' started by steven-f, Apr 11, 2012.

  1. Its a shame the weather over Easter was so bad, but Ive managed to get a few miles onto my Panigale.

    The bike is awesomely good - the four things I love are
    1. How comfy it is (seating position and ride quality)
    2. The steering. Its so light and has great feedback, and no effort needed to steer or change direction.
    3. I'm limited to 6000 rpm running in but theres plenty of power - and the engine is so smooth but still has character.
    4. The quickshifter is just amazing.

    I cant wait to get a few more miles onto it - hope to be out this weekend if its dry. Loomies/Thruxton perhaps, to watch MotoRapido in BSB.

  6. Does the quickshifter only work above x thousand revs or throughout the rev range?

  15. yes it does smoke a bit - apparently its something to do with running in and the oil used. Not a problem though.

    Hope you enjoy - and hope to see some of you at Thruxton on Sunday.

  16. Agree with all of the above covered 100 miles on mine today. A bit too hard for bumpy back roads so have altered the sport map. Will test this Tom. Only thing I don't like is the stand!!!

    I have to say the handling is amazing and love the quick shifter.

  17. I Agee re stand. Ok with Sidi boots but not Alpinestars. Needs a tab on the stand.

    Ps I'd love to buy some MR team kit.

  18. Are you thinking its too hard? I have changed the settings but even wet suspension settings on sport mode have had me out of the seat a few times. I'm living the bike but never been beaten up like this!! Off to mct in Stowmarket I reckon
