I wonder how likely or how possible it is for these new panigale frames to develop a small crack in them?
Looks more like a dirt bike frame anyway.

That bike's components are crammed so tightly, you'd never know.

They say there is no frame. There IS a frame. I'm staring right at it.

I see no frame.  Just an engine with cycle parts bolted on.

I don't think the airbox is stressed on that plane.  It looks pretty well triangulated between the heads and the steering mount.

That's not the frame, it's the airbox. And the steering mount is part of the airbox so I would gather it is going to be subjected to stress.

there is a lot of stress carried at all mounting points, thats why its much beefier.

I haven't seen too many pics of crashed pan's, but none of the ones I have seen were good.

No "buffing that right out"

Did you really include the phrase "I can't imagine crashing..." in a post?  Who are you and what have you done with He Man?  I demand a full investigation.
