1199s, 2012 or 2013

jaybo · Apr 4, 2013

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and getting close to pulling the trigger on a Pani.
My question to you guys is my dealer has a 2012 s that I can get an additional $1500 off so other than the L.E.D lights is there any other differences between the 2????

Looking forward to your feedback

No difference between the 2012 and 2013 model other than an oil window and a different piston ring. So no gains. Best to probably go with the 2012 model. Would be more cost effective.

I don't know what you should do, but the later 2012s have had all the recalls done, the S models have DES, LED lights, CF front fender. The 2013 models have a version that is void of color

and an R version. Anyway, this has been asked once or twice, look here, here, here, here and here for starters.

My advice to you is if a thread has more than 3 pages, don't bother reading beyond the first page because your question will have already been answered. The rest will be about rubber scat suits, why Canada sucks, why the US sucks, does TransNone13 have tribal tattoos and do you carry while you ride your pani.

Cheers! Welcome to the forum!

My 12s has led lights. Not sure what you mean by other than the led.... Where in Canada are you?

I had thought there was a difference in lighting but maybe not?

I hate CF for this...

No difference really. I'd go '12. $5000 goes a long way on goodies.

There is difference. All the 2013s were shipped with the 2012 recalls done at the factory. I just bought a 2013 and got 2 grand off in spring...

I think he owes me. I've increased his street cred on this forum 10x now that everybody thinks he's some kind of squid tough guy.

So my dealer had a 2012 s that I could of saved 1500 off but it sold while I was in Florida and doesn't want to budge on a 2013. How much did you guys save off buying current year?

Whoopazz · Apr 22, 2013

Argyll won't budge worth of sh*t I don't think as they are the only dealer in Ab for now. Try and work on a dealer in a different province maybe?

anthem · Apr 22, 2013

the one year difference will be more significant if you are planning on selling/trading in the bike in the near future. As time goes by the one year difference won't matter much.

ducati ? save? in one sentence?
like in 'saved it from crashing' then...

Word on the street is that Bow Cycle just became Calgary's new Ducati dealer. There should be some sort of official announcement soon. Could be worth a call to them to see what they can do. I've heard they have some HUGE sales targets to meet and they will want to move bikes given that a bunch of their early season sales went north to Argyll.

Always buy the latest model you can with consideration to your budget!

I will do and thanks for the info, I was going to be putting a deposit on the 2013s tomorrow.

There is a difference in lighting between the standard Pani and the S. But, not between the 2012 and 2013 S models. They have the same lighting...

So you were right about Bow Cycle

I called and the sales guy I talked to sounded a little surprised, lol
He said that they just made the announcement this morning and would get back to me once they knew what they had coming in so hopefully they can make it worth my while

jaybo · Apr 23, 2013

Maybe I should just ge the R? If I get the S and down the road do the exhaust and then do some carbon I will be at the same price?
What do you guys think?
