  2. Well there you go. The Aprilia is faster on a lap and cheaper.

  3. The RSV4 looks like an overweight porker next to the Pani though.

  6. I wouldn't click on that if I were you. Even out of idle curiosity.

  8. chassis issues again on the Pani. Wonder how long it will take before people start to listen and Ducati work on sorting this bike. Great potential, but everyone struggles with the chassis setup.....

  10. I remember reading an article from Ben bostrom, who rode the pani a few months ago. "saying its nice but its unfinished, its hard work to ride fast and its unstable at high speeds. then he rode the BMW SR1000, he was 2 sec quicker on the same track. Even Checa said" we have lots of work to do, but we are getting there. Bring back the 996.

  11. interesting idea! .. bringing back a 220 bhp, RBW, full electronics 998.... might be interesting to see what it does!

  12. That Ben Bostrom comment is virtually identical to what I said when I had ridden it for about an hour. They are fast, but clearly there is work to do on chassis / geometry and setup. Tight lips though from everyone at Ducati at present.....

  13. it's not easy to work on a non existant chassis... :)

  14. Yes, not actually having a chassis to tweak must limit your options somewhat when it comes to development.

  15. Sounds awesome but is this going to be MotoGP all over again??
