Wowza! Looks waaaaaayyyy better in these photos.  :o
Could just be talented photo work though.  ;)


I wonder what an oil change will involve. The exhaust looks too busy down there.

Also, the asymmetrical exhaust cut outs on the fairings will likely make variety of exhaust designs challenging.

I'm surprised at how nice and refined the speedo looks, albeit, a bit bland.

Well, I'm not ready to sell a testicle and rush to my dealer, but I don't dislike it.

I'll have to go see one in the dealer showroom, and see if it stirs my soul and/or loins. Then I can decide whether or not to buy it with the money I don't really have.

well, they have riding modes now so you can detune it if you dont need the extra power.

but yeah...

i'd def hit that.

i wonder if they are going to ever base a sf on this chassis?  could be interesting... would just look like a engine and two wheels.  as stripped down a bike as possible.

I'm filing that under "careful what you wish for" until I see this (non)chassis idea work better in superbike that it has in MotoGP.

i'd actually think in some ways it would work better for the sf concept because you generally wont push a sf as hard as you do a sbk.  it would still have limitations at the track when you're at 11/10's but in the street?  not so much i'd say.

they would have a hell of a time hiding the wiring though.  everything would prob have be pretty much routed under the airbox/tank.  no where else to hide anything.

I wanted to hate it.

I can't.

Love the tail section and surfaces on the upper areas.  The only minor niggle I have is the front would look stronger with a horizontal surface under the twin headlights.  The one on it looks like a hare lip.

Video looked confident, maybe sped up 5% or so?

Nice either way.  Need to see it in person for a final take.

Has anyone compared the Desmosedici power and weigh figures to the Panigale 1199?

Seems to me the Desmosedici is 10 lbs heavier, makes just nominally more power.  So what do you think would be the trade-in or resale value for those bikes now that the Panigale has been announced for 1/3 of its original price?

I see the Panigale made the cover of Cycle World. I have to say that really the only thing that puts me off the look of the bike are the mirrors. No doubt more functional than past mirrors but they give it a touch of a Suzuki look. Blasphemy, I know. Journalists have been dissing the mirrors on the previous bikes for years as if they were some sort of major sin. Somehow I prefer form over function in this case. I've gotten used to the elbow tuck rear check on my 848.  Besides which, what's behind you is of little consequence anyway.  [Dolph]

Not sure... a bit tough to judge as it was up on a podium all by itself.
They let folks up onto the podium, so you could view it normally, but no other bikes up at that level.

Compared to an 848:
The tail is minimal, as there's no exhaust.
Tank looks a good bit smaller.
No trellis, so that form/boundary isn't there.

pretty certain that's at the crank.

just relooking at it... the 1198 looks pretty strong comparably all the way through 8250 rpm.

and still hangs up to 9500 rpm.

it's all at the top end where the panigale would pull away.

1000 rpm higher upper limit as well

it's gonna have to be ridden like the I-4 bikes and keep it up in the RPM range to make the power.

then again, makes it more docile at the lower RPMs for street

You can probably find a 1098s with low miles for a decent price. In a few months you'll be able to find them for a song.  [thumbsup]

....and you can modify it to be like a 1199 by performing a de-frame-ectomy.    :P

All kidding aside, the 1198s does it for me. Much lower in price and has traction control to tame the beast for a newb like me.  ;D

I was just reviewing this video

Ducati 1199 Panigale - Troy Bayliss and Marinelli @ Mugello (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK7B6CEs9cI&feature=related#)

I think the 1199 map we are seeing below is the Race mode which makes the power high according to the video.

I think the 1199 Sport map would look closer to the 1198.

the base 1199 doesnt have the LED headlight, only the S model and up.

and the diff btwn the SF/1199 LED headlights are that the SF's lights are accent lights only... the 1199's are the main driving lights too.

though i do like the led accents on the sf, and i believe that i read somewhere that the triangular pattern of 3 lights for some odd reason tends to make people notice you more.

Was just up at Rockwell cycles in NY state and saw them putting together a panigale... it's pretty damn gorgeous in person.  They were saying that it was def harder to unbox because of how compact everything is now.

Funny thing was that when the techs were putting it together, we were commenting that putting on the passenger pegs was just a crime.  Then another tech chimes in and say to not bother putting it on... the guy who bought that one will never use it.  Because his wife bought a matching one at the same time.  haha.

Big engine = big heat.  Then the exhaust header has to go out and do a 180* bend right under the seat in order to route down to the cans. I'm told it puts out more heat to the rider than an 1198 even though it has a larger radiator. I've had my butt cooked several times on an 1198 so the Panigale must be something else.  :o  I've wrapped pipes on a 999 and that helps but there is still the issue of a huge vertical cylinder head radiating heat and there is no getting around that. The head was the bigger heat generator on the 999 and the 1098/1198.

Yep, that's the talk...the rear cylinder being more of an issue then the exhaust. I'll still get it wrapped to alleviate some of the heat.

Rode it about 100 miles today. Freeway, canyons, City traffic, PCH. Excellent bike in all respects but obviously the bike preferred the canyons. Very confidence inspiring. Insane amount of power. I haven't even come close to tapping in to it all the way. Likely never will.

There's always a possibility of sitting in traffic, but most people here just lane split. I would rather not.

I can't stop.  I've got an addiction.  I'm gonna get in trouble some day.
