Just so happens I have a nice hardly used evotech item on eBay at the moment for a 3rd of the price (hint hint) and Evotech r out of stock lol
Purchased by polishers never ridden in the rain and rode like they are made of glass scared to open them up
Not guilty. I bought my last Pani in February and all my bikes are ridden 12 months a year. If it rains, then thy do get dried afterwards. I avoid salty roads.
My panigale was like a fucking mogwai and should have come with a warning from the creepy Chinese bloke saying don’t feed it gas after midnight cos the headlights were shit and you can’t see plus don’t get it wet because the dashboard lights up like an Anne summers vejazzle display when you do. I rode it all year round but what a pain in the ass it was.
Great choice on the R - looks like you started a trend away from the V4s! I think v4s great for track work, but there is no better feeling than avoiding new bike depreciation with a road bike. Regarding the free sag, recommend you get some lighter weight springs fitted front and rear. Ducati come sprung hard anyway, and since you are lighter, lighter springs will allow you to set the correct amount of static rider sag - ie about 1/3 of total travel, and also get some free sag at the rear. Having an overspung bike risks losing traction on bumpy bends as suspension tops out.
