First Panigale Ride Review (http://www.visordown.com/road-tests-first-rides/first-ride-ducati-1199-panigale-s/20053.html)
-
You had your chance. I was there when the dealer gave you first chance to put a deposit on the one coming to Duc Mpls. You passed. You'll have to find who bought that one and get it from them second hand when the next model comes out.
-
"The Panigale flicks from left to right with the eagerness of an R6"
I'm skeptical about this comment.
Most tests I've read say the Aprilia RSV-4 is the most flickable
of the litre bikes. But none say it flicks like an R6.
-
Bikes become flickable when their base price gets up to $25k. :D
-
I was thinking about the same thing only a little bit lower say $23k. But you have to put on that over priced exhaust system so that is $2k. So your right Paul $25k and you can flick it.
-
Can't wait for the 2012 litre bike shootouts - Dethrone the S1000RR? At $10K difference, I doubt it!
-
Can you say ZX10R.
-
Unless Kawasaki has the marketing budget of BMW Motorrad, no, you are riding a second class citizen.
-
It is looking like it is going to be between the BMW and Ducati. If the Ducati comes in at the manufacturer specified weight even though it is likely to be a little shy of the BMW in terms of HP, it could very well be the winner, even in base spec. 414 lb wet, would make the Panigale 10lbs lighter than last year's R6. At 414lbs. it would be roughly 40 lbs lighter than the BMW and would be over 20lbs lighter than the Kaw.
The ZX10R is going to have a tough time competing with these two latest and greatest machines. Were it going to have a good chance of winning, it would have won the 2011 shootouts and would be at least be competing from the reigning champion position.
-
Well I sure hope they weighed the Ducati all wet. Did you look at the rear exhaust pipe. That thing was made to keep the rider warm that's for sure so your going to need some kind of cooling system.
Third place you say, but then you put in the dollars and then it's right there on top.
-
You don't.....well I don't compare a 13,500 bike against a 23,000 bike.
But whatever, magazines pick winners solely based on advertising dollars. All of them are so close in the real world that the winner is really everyone that gets to ride them.
And until I get one of those ducs on my own scales and weigh it back to back to something else--I don't believe for a second it comes in at 414 all wet and ready to ride.
-
I'm feeling distinctly middle aged these days and this is looking more and more attractive

So should we be expecting to see you on a new bike this season Ray?
-
Congrats!!!!!! Which one gets the boot?
-
The CBR and a bike I bought in December, but have never ridden go.
I bought another bike in January which has yet to break cover, so if things continue on this path, I'll be on two new to me bikes this season.
-
Damn... That bike looks like a beast from every angle. I like what they did with the ergos too, should be an amazing riding experience. Congrats Ray! I think your other bikes won't see many miles next season.
-
Is it faster than a speeding ticket?

A distinct lack of tank bag and GPS mounts for the 1199, could keep the miles down on this bike, but we shall see.

You can't out run a Motorola.....

Nice Ray, that is quite the stable you will have

-
My guess is that BMW has an HP S1000RR in the works that will up the ante again. Kudos to BMW and Ducati for raising the bar - the Jap response has been anemic, to say the least.
-
Atleast those "anemic" jap bikes can be ridden day in and day out everyday without having to rob a bank every week, see a chiropractor every 200 miles and go in for extensive maintenance multiple times a year (if any actually are ridden for more than show)......
Seems to me everyone I know who owns a duc has a jap bike as there daily rider that they actually trust and have fun on as well as log the miles on then a duc for a once or twice ride each year, usually short and usually just for show......
So from a riders standpoint ;
"anemic" Jap bike +100000000000000000000000000000
overpriced Duc 0
Let the argument insue.
-
The S1000RR can be ridden daily (I know) and the new Duc can; apparently, based on the reviews.
Arguing with an idiot just means there are two of you - comes to mind

Dang Ray, nice looking ride. Congrats on the purchase and it should be a blast to ride.
-
You know Ray that I am Italian. So maybe I should go with you when it comes in and ride it home for you. Because the bike is so high priced you might feel better if you are the 2nd person to ride it than the first. Let me know when.

-
Better not spill any ice cream on your pants before getting on that thing! :D
-
congrats...........looking forward to seeing 2 or 3 new bikes under your stable......esp the duc
-
It's all about lookin cool, congrats Ray, you stud.
-
Thanks for all the positive comments folks, I'm really looking forward to this bike. I hope it has the staying power of my 916.
OTOH, the other yet to break cover bike passed a milestone the other day and is now DNR registered. Next step is Subd 12 Dual Registration (https://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/statutes/?id=84.788&year=2011). Wish me luck! This bike will be even rarer an unique than the Panigale.

Just to balance out the press, I decided to search for a bad review. Darn, no luck!!!
The only bad was a tall, fat guy with bad knees who said he didn't fit. However, his concerns may not apply to you Ray. ::)

it'll be time for a new and updated avatar pic for Ray

So the bike I arrived. It is being shown as I type this at Motoprimo. I went down today to finalize the deal and changed my mind and cancelled my order.
If anyone wants, the bike is for sale. You could be riding a new 1199S tomorrow.
-
Why the change of heart?

Found a better deal.

Is it a 1098 for sale here?

No, a better much more frightening deal....
BTW, if you know anyone who wants a 1098S, John Leo's bike is about as clean a bike as you could possibly find.
-
For what it's worth, the 2012 S1000RR won over the 2012 Panigale in the latest MCN shootout. 1.5s a lap slower - stating corner stability as a major factor. At our level of riding, none of this is relavent... The Panigale sure is pretty.

Ah c'mon Ray inquiring minds want to know!

Nothing is done till the fat lady sings and I don't want to jinx anything, so all I'll say is, I decided to get a triple.
With a little luck I'll break it in on the Slimey Crud ride this weekend.
-
Ray's finally getting a Rocket 3 ;)
-
No Shit - A Triple! The MV Augusta is my guess. Man that thing is sexxxxxxxy!
-
Daytona...
-
Daytona...
at least suggest the R :P
-
Ahem, Ahem... What I said was Daytona 675R.

beautiful!

WOW! nice bike Ray!
-
Nice!
-
You probably don't realize that you coulda bought a brand new Harley with that money, but I hear Ducati makes an OK bike, too. 8)
I'm happy for ya, Ray! That's one really sweet bike. I can't wait to see it in person.
-
Yes he could and he could of put lots of chrome on it to.
-
congrats Ray! So did you park it right next to the bed?
-
Beauty!!!

Better pic
(http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss273/ray916mn/1199/P1000162.jpg)
250 miles so far. It's nice.
-
That's a nice kickstand. A few more miles put on her and you'll get to see the rest of the tachometer too I believe.
-
I agree, even the kickstand is a piece of art. Ray, did you get a ground level room at Twistar so you can roll it into your room or just going to put it in the lobby for the hotel staff to guard?
-
is the shock mounted right to the motor?

Looks like it. This bike is based on the MotoGP bike, which has no frame.

Article Summary "Ducati has released a series of photos of its revolutionary Panigale 1199 (http://www.gizmag.com/ducati-1199-panigale-review/20587/) superbike without its clothes on, showing exactly how the bike is held together in the absence of a traditional frame. But while the monocoque chassis is pretty fascinating to look at in the flesh, what strikes us most is just how incredibly compact the bike is - every component has been squeezed into the tiniest possible space. In fact, you can't even see clean through the bike at any point until you reach the rear hugger. This is mass centralisation and weight shaving taken to a whole new level… Good luck trying to service the thing yourself!"

interesting design.
-
Nice find. I talked to a guy that bought the 1199 when I was getting my Duc and he was supper excited about how well it just rolls through the turns. It sounds great too.
-
I am soooo jealous.
