I am disappoint to hear about some of the issues that members report on here, cracked manifold, overheating and things like oil leaks and water leaks.
I have just clocked 2021 Km with my bike and report that I have not had a single issue yet.

I hope I'm fortunate and this continues I have it now coming up 7 months and thinking please if something goes wrong let it be during warranty.

On delivery (Late December) it had a sweating front master cylinder, a Brembo part, it was replaced under warranty.
Apart from my rear break fluid going almost black it runs sweet and all systems are working:)
 
Got almost 6000 on mine with nothing other than scheduled maintenance and tires.

This is all great to hear. I just put mine in for first service and after reading about all the problems I was getting paranoid. Lol. So hopefully I got one of the good ones.
 
Imagine how many Panigale owners since 2012? Thousands and thousands! Of course granted those who are not a member here and or don't create new post about no issues (must be plenty)... We only see the negatives.

I myself had a foggy dash that was replaced under warranty.

no issues here and i just hit 2000km too. changed my own oil and she spends her night's parked in the basement rec-room. no leaks. no stalls. no issues whatsoever now. just lots of s'miles' now.
 
At 10,000mi a few months back, I snapped the rear header pipe clean in half right where it mounts to motor. Brought it in, they replaced it with warrantee within 3 days and said its a ducati thing and sent me on the way hahahaha.

That comment of many many Pani's on the street and no complaints, I live in the mecca for these bikes and I don't see them everyday so I disagree about the plethora of Panis in active and constant use. I feel that after 4-5 years of Pani's existence that focus is more on style and performance rather than reliability. The Italians do things differently than the eastern makes, that is my take on this. Contrast the mileage reports here of a thousand or few thousand miles here with the reports of tens of thousands of miles (e.g. 25,000 miles or more) on some other bikes. We need to ride more, haha.

I am on 4600km after 7 months. No issues, only had one electronic warning which sorted itself out.... Self healing. Truly an amazing bike.

I agree that the Italians don't seem to concentrate much on reliability LOL
Maybe the reason why most don't have that many miles on them is because they are in the shop so much.. That is the case with mine..:(

Lets face it at $25K a pop, not many youngsters can even afford one.. The younger crowd are generally (their are exceptions of course) the ones most likely to put more miles on them... The older you get the harder time it is to stay in the race position required by the Ducati 1299.. (Although it is not near as bad as the 1198 and earlier LOL.

I think you were taking about my comment. What I said was we tend to hear only negatives and I did not say no complaints.

Imagin if we were to post "hey I ticked over 3000 miles and no problem...hey I ticked over 3001 miles and no problems."

I been on this forum over 3 years and check out the forum everyday and had one pani for 4 and heard of about dozens of serious issue. I can confidently say there are more than dozens of happy riders.

And your comment about not seeing other Pani...not sure if you are just missing them or just your area of what not...

Just doing basic research, Ducati been selling 45,000 + each year with about 10,000ish (9.7k in 2014) + being 899/959/1199/1299 and USA being the biggest customers.

I am in West Coast myself now.
 
Further research.

Advise continue research on how many sport riders are there, how many sport bikes in the population and compare the ratios of Panis to other bikes in the genre. In manufacturing there are always outlying poor performers due to engineering or manufacturing design flaws. Industrialization of any design is a challenge. E.g. if for 100 Panis on this forum there are 10 with one issue after another, that is 10% failure. Compare the number of recalls on the Pani over the past 4 years. I count 7 so far, on the same model of bike, haha.

Ok let's compare to other manufacturers here. Biggest of them all are (recalls) in the last 10 years:

1. Yamaha
2. BMW
3. Kawasaki
4. Honda
5. Ducati

Well, I just turned 54 years old and still ride mine every day to work and back on my commute, as well as my occasional track day; no reason not to ride many miles on these bikes, I have done 700+ miles in one day and the Panigale was no more painful to ride than my BMW S1000RR and WAY less painful than my Triumph Daytona 675R... Just do a few pushups every day and keep your body in riding shape and you should be fine.

It's weird hearing all these 20 or 30 something MEN, complaining about how uncomfortable this bike is; I just don;t get it.

Huh?

Ok, now whittle it down to a specific model, generation, year, and redo the comparison. Thanks
It's amazing how statistics can be used to make a case even when the basis for the comparisons is apples and oranges.
There's a saying that comes to mind- "Statistics don't lie, that's why liars use statistics"

Agreed. I find the 1299 S to be far more comfortable than my 07 R1. My hip pain from riding went away, and I have done 400 mile days on the 1299 S and still felt like I could go more. Stop and take breaks every 60-90 miles (I usually have to put gas in at 90 anyway... stupid throttle hand).

Every bike has issues. 08 Honda 1000RR, ring issues, oil burning. 07 R1, titanium valve wearing out against the valve seats, etc. Seems there are always a few bikes that have issues from a group. With a company that makes low numbers in comparison, you are going to have issues. But we expect more because we paid more.... maybe. I think some of us expect more because we are in a position to expect more.

There are always lemons, and there are going to be design issues. I never ride my bikes in OEM condition long. So I usually upgrade/replace systems, as I want a particular feel or design, and I want something different to set me apart.

I'm at 2500 miles in just over a month, no "real" issues. And if so, I will work to get them resolved.
 
This is based on

"This time we’ve taken a different approach, and instead of counting sheer numbers of bikes involved we’ve looked at figures from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency to see which manufacturers have launched the largest number of recall campaigns over the last 10 years.

To make things fair, where multiple recalls have been issued simultaneously over several models for the same faulty part, they’ve been counted as one campaign."

If you like to take time to whittle down more then feel free to spend time to do so.

No need to research further for me, I am enjoying the depth of research I have already performed. Thanks
