Yay yes im happy your taking your german thingy out of the Panigale section thanks I don't bullshit myself about how good my Ducati is, I know it is because I have ridden it But there is no reason to dislike my comment just because you know what I have said is the truth!
Looking forward ta getting my 1299 in April , will see how different it is to the 11 , can honestly say I have loved every minute n mile (10'600) of them of the 11 , took some time to get suspension set up for our lovely smooth roads , but once sorted it was a belter , bike was no garage queen either well used couple of tracks done loads of good Northern roads , will post thoughts on the 12 when its ran in , can't wait.
Now I AM a Ducati fan and it's obviously not because they're winning everything they enter. They are expensive, fragile, fickle, not as fast or powerful as an equivalent inline 4 but by god do you feel good riding and owning one. The noise of my 748 flat out for mile after mile will go with me to my grave. Still excites me now thinking of it 15odd years on. So what I'm saying is, what 'rules' as a bike? The most powerfull? No as that's a drag bike probably. The fastest? No cos that's the Land speed record bike. Best handling? No as that's Moto3 I'd guess. Being something people lust to own and generally don't want to sell once acquired? Yes, I can agree with that, and that's DUCATI.
Ha I've already got a bet on that jimmy be back on a pani by August , you'll either hate it like last one u had or sell it cos u keep falling asleep on it as not as exciting as pani . Look forward to first ride out pal
ha u know what am like , roll on march , couple weeks rain to wash roads then its good to go, mind am limited to 9k revs for 600 miles so u may as well make hay when the sun shines, then its another 100 bhp released ,,,,,
It's ok Jimmy I'll bring OOT me hack bike GS 1200 r , you should be able ta keep up wif us , mind when April comes bye bye Jimmy , ha ha .
hello pal what u doing on our ducati site ??? are u gonna be converted and get a red peril. u know how fast the 3 panni lads were,
Jimmy, ugly girls generally give the best ride but you wouldn't want to be seen in public with them ! Also, think of it this way, if you had a stunning girlfriend, when you leave for work, you'd glance back at her and think how lucky you are. She might be expensive to keep and may not be completely reliable, but she's worth it. If you had a moon-howler, you'd be glad to see the back of her. So it is with the Panigale and the Beemer. One is a stunner who you are proud to call your own. The other is a damn ugly bitch but she gives a good ride. I know which I'd rather have !
NO, NO, NO, NO.NO.......................................... but seriously, we're all bikers. If you like it and get along with it, best of luck, enjoy and keep her sunny side up !
