Rumor has it some one from the Dmf will have his two bikes there on show.

Yeah I'm thinking I'll be there first thing Saturday morning for a couple of hours.
Hoping that there'll be an 1199 to oggle....

prob wander down in my lunch break tomorrow (fri)   if its not raining too much

Steve - let us know if there is a 1199 there - the reports I've had from o/s say it really is a quantum leap from the 1198...

Can't wait to see it in the flesh!

[hambo]

according to ducati there will be one there .....i spoke to a bloke who has seen it ( he also had a no 21 on his bike)and he sid its a cross between an 1198 and a dodge viper............ ......

I was there today and yep there is a beautiful looking Panigale present . Also plenty of other stuff to see and do and plenty of bikes to sit on, worth getting down to take a peek.

Here's some snap shots (sorry about photo quality)

I didn't ask to be honest but one would have to think so

[888906]

oohh yeahhh - thats what I'm talk'n 'bout...brace yourselves this is the next generation of superbike right here!

[Two dogs]

If you are going to see this bike make sure you show enough interest in it so the salesman gives you  the MCN
magazine detailing the development and tech features of the Panigale , bloody good read and shows this bike is more than just a pretty face.

What are those cables for, coming out of the top of the forks?

What are those cables for, coming out of the top of the forks?

Electronic Suspension shenanigans. Click a button, change suspension. Same thing is on the new multistroodle.

Took some shots of the spec sheets.

The Panigale holds impressive specs when compared to the 1198.

I was also reading that the Panigale has the biggest pistons (112 mm) of any current car or motorcylce production engine

[braando]

I was at the show on Sunday afternoon to pick my bike up............and guess who i found ogleing it.....forget any new fangle dangle Panigale......Danog headed straight for the genuine article     



Also spotted our Paul showing some interest in upgrading his bike....
