. Hello. I have just purchased a Panegale 1199S Tricolour , after a long lay off from Ducati. I have owned many Dukes and dare I say, MV's, but nothing quite so manic as this beasty !! My last Duke was a 955 Corsa ( 916, but with an AMCA Homologated engine for World Superbikes ) Wish I still had this bike as they are now worth at least £30k, that's IF you can find one. Oh well. I also owned a 750 cc Leguna Seca which was another cracking bike, again their value has increased somewhat , and a mint 851, and a 900 SS Bevel, some bike that was, especially when starting it. Many a time I was nearly thrown over the handlebars. As far as the MV marque, well I have owned a 1000cc MV F4 Agostini Rep. and a Brutale naked. Anyhow, I hope to gain a bit more knowledge on my recent purchase , and hope I can retain my licence. Pip
