well, i am not really a test rider so cant really provide detailed reply, i use pany daily and TB coming out only occasionally on the sunny day. just a nicer bike to ride, thats it. bit more manly. strangely enough when i was buying my pani , dealer also had in their showroom last 1198SP they had left and they offered me deal on that one instead of pani. i wish now i got that SP at the time!
I would have s 1098r over a panigale any day,it's a very special bike and who ever owns one has one or the finest ducatis ever made, if I could rewind there would be a r in my garage now, I think the panigale tric and the second generation r and the sl will be the ones to have in ten years time.
I like this extract from a review. Full review here. Feed the habit: Living with the Ducati 1098R - Road Tests - Visordown
So I bought the TB on Sunday Pick it up in May once it's had a full service and a tracker fitted. Can't wait!
I'm hoping to see (and hear a few) on Saturday....if its wasn't for my rsv4 id have a 1098 (or 1198) like a shot. Dunno if id go for a TB though - less is more for me....
Piece of mind and got it as part of the deal along with a new set of leathers and a full service. Plus money off [emoji108]
