Many of the 1299 riders will have had unvoluntary dismounts chasing highest lean angles, looking at the lean sensor while cornering
No doubt.

Yep - everyone wants to think they have "the best"
"For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.”

No doubt the 12 is way better than the 11!
But with some mods you get an 11 closer to a 12.
If
The hat gap is still too big for someone - 1299 it
Is!

The reality is any sportbike of the past 10 years will put a huge grin on it's owners face. It really boils down to looks for most.

The 1198 looks better and is better. LOL!
I could have bought any new bike and chose a 2011 1198.
I read all the forums and most people hated themselves for selling the 1198 and getting the 1199. I think the Superbike has the real Ducati look. The average Joe Blow could mistake the 1199 and 1299 for any Jap Crap.

I personally feel that the 1299 is a better street bike... which is why I bought a 1299.

You would probably get more compliments on this
Actually you wont....b/c these 1098/848/1198 are EVERYWHERE and are as common as the R6...but Pani....still haven't seen one in my city (Charlotte, NC).

Point I am making here is they don't the way the 1199 goes about its business, 1299s comes out to make everyone's life much nicer, then the new R comes out and then they say that this is now the dogs bollocks and the 1299s doesn't give the same feed back, R from what I read and not ridden one behaves like a crazier version of the 1199 top end wise! the point is not about the 999/1098/1198/R1/R6, and so I reckon my 1199 with full ohlins, termi or Akrapovic and a set of wheels would compete with the 1299s, so why do I need to buy another bike when I like my lunatic over in the garage and its still better than most for the next five years!

Funny how all most the Mag' Journalists change their tune 1 yr later. Just like politians
They make some people feel like their was such major development that your bike is now a relic
What amazes me is that pro rider like McGuiness can dominate the TT on
an old relative under powered 2009 CBR 1000 / Fireblade SP, no traction control
ABS etc The rider is 1 of the most important elements
