The first launch reviews are out (MCH & Visordown sites)
Sounds like the performance is going to match the great looks.

New test from Ash on bikes: http://www.ashonbikes.com/content/du...199-panigale-s
Sounds the absolute business, now just have to sell the wife and kids to fund one!
Viva La Figa
Why do people read magazine write ups anyway? None of them have had the balls to bag a shitter for what it is, in decades.
Christ, in most cases they rave about the BT016's that come OE on heaps of Jap bikes, and those tyres are absolutely the shittiest sports bike rubber I've ever ridden.
Disclaimer, the BT016's purchased off the shelf are different tyres I'm told.
Would be interesting see what impact the 1199 will have on the 1198 re-sale value. The new price for both (1199 and 1198) base models is between 32 - 34k depending on the dealer.
The 1199 sounds quite different from the 1198, high revs for a twin.
Has the rev limit moved from ~10k to ~12k?

The orange light in the middle of the dash could be the traction control in action?
I never tried a 1x98 (or a 999 for that matter), but I'm very keen on this one!
The 1199 is very pretty but may have fallen into the Buell trap of trying to be different rather than better. I hope someone buys one and tries beating Choppa's BMW on it.
imdying and onearmedbandit obviously have a complex relationship.
I've always wanted a bike with a K2 motor, MX bars and lots of leg room.

Boy they're a tasty little treat aren't they? Still the temptation to take one out and return it complaining about a lack of front end feel is verrrrrry strong
Good on ya Ducati for taking the punt on a truly all new design. All we need now is Honda to make the V5, Suzuki to make their V4 - anything over 160kg & under 190rwhp will be poo poo'd........ :-)
