I'm a first time Ducati owner, and have been a member of this forum for a few months now. So I would like to thank all the Panigale owners who posted their first time and ownership impressions of the 1199. Your reviews where very informative and convinced me that the next bike for me should be the 1199. Today I became a very proud owner of 1199 S with ABS. I have not ridden the bike yet, but will do so this weekend. Based on what I have read from other members I'm sure I'm going to be very happy with my decision. I have uploaded a picture of the bike being delivered. I'll upload more of my ride over the weekend.
