Hi From Manchester

  1. Hi all. New to the forum and first time Ducati owner. Picked up a 2020 Panigale V2 from Manchester Ducati a few weeks ago. I've got to say I've bought bikes form main dealers in the past but the entire Ducati buying experience feels so much more special, I have absolutely fallen in love with it already. The previous owner has put a lot of carbon on it, I'm going to be adding a few more bits along with some other cosmetic mods myself over my ownership, my shopping basket on a couple of sites are getting longer by the day.

    I came from a 2016 ZX10R, lovely bike and I enjoyed riding it and wasn't really looking at changing it so soon but could not resist when I found the V2. The road riding experience is so much more enjoyable than the Ninja, the power is more useable and I have not had a bike that corners as well as this ever. IMG_2974.jpg

    Safe riding everyone.

  4. Welcome. That's my old bike :)

    Ps. I did add a few bits including the wrap and the exhaust cap but I have to admit it was Glen who bought it from me that carboned it up.

    I too , previously had a 2016 and 2018, put near 40k on those then went Italian with an rsv4 1100 factory, been on a v4 panigale 11 months now
    As you say, there’s just something special about the Italian bikes
