2025 Panigale New Owner Impression

Motosagela · Saturday at 6:17 AM

Hey guys, brought the 2025 Panigale V4S home 3 nights ago. I was able to ride it yesterday to work and ride it after work in the canyons near my house in Los Angeles.

I have to tell you, after owning the 2019 Panigale and the 2021 Streetfighter, the bike is very good.

I felt like I was riding on rails and the breaking was stupidly good. Engine didn’t bog down and I wasn’t completely tired after riding the bike because the ergonomics are better. And a quick shift or problems that the 2019 and the 2021 had are gone. It’s not as good as the BMW quick shifter for the S and M bikes, but still a huge improvement

If you guys are familiar with Angela’s crest Highway, it’s a fun road, but the road can be rough at times, but it didn’t bother me as I was riding up there.

I’m still in the breaking in period , but it’s fantastic so far.

Can you please elaborate on the ergonomics. When I sat on it at the dealership, it felt like both the tank and the seat are more narrow. As you know, 22+ they made the tank wider to help with the hard braking etc.

Hey brother, yeah so the tank is a little bit thinner, but I found that the writer triangle made it a lot easier to be comfortable. I have already written it about 450 miles since last Wednesday and I’m not as exhausted as I was last time Panigale. It seems like the grips are a little bit thicker I don’t feel as raked over. But I’ll tell you the breaking is incredibly powerful even we’re just using two fingers on the brake lever. I was able to get the back wheel up.

So the weather has been cool in the mornings and in the mid 40s and heats up to upper 60s. The heat is palpable on the thighs and legs. I don’t mind it now since it’s LA winter, but I’m not sure what’s gonna happen in the hot hot heat of summer. I might have to figure out a way to put some extra heat shielding on if it becomes bad. I would still buy the bike again.

Almost every mountain road in california has been paved in the last few years (every direction out of Ojai has been paved BTW). Have these guys not paved the Crest? What about around Big Bear? I have forever believed that CA uses low melting point tars to tar stripe with as an anti-motorcycle thing. No other state in the west does that. Clearly they have the money to pave the Crest. Rude.

Wrapping the rear header with header wrap helps. Needs to be the ultra-high temp copper coated wrap to survive. Does help. The real question is did they manage to get the seat surface temp down. The heat transfer from the tail of the tank to the seat is a real issue on the earlier bikes.

Pour moi je trouve que le moteur est bridé / je dois avoir 100 chevaux à tout casser, j’ai l’impression que ça ne marche pas du tout peut-être c’est parce que c’est en période de rodage. Mais là pour l’instant j’ai 50 km au compteur et j’ai l’impression d’être sur un scooter scooter. Je suis de France donc moteur complètement débridé.

Donc, le temps est frais le matin et atteint les 40 degrés et se réchauffe jusqu'à 60 degrés. La chaleur est palpable sur les cuisses et les jambes. Cela ne me dérange pas maintenant que c'est l'hiver à Los Angeles, mais je ne sais pas ce qui va se passer dans la chaleur torride de l'été. Je devrais peut-être trouver un moyen de mettre une protection thermique supplémentaire si la situation devient mauvaise. Je rachèterais quand même le vélo.
