I bet that is looooouuuuuddddd....

For me, this almost made me choose the RSV4 instead of the Pani, except DNA's incentives on leftover 2012's were too strong:

Sound is a major component of the riding experience for me, I even bought a Crossplane R1 just because of what it sounded like with a Graves full exhaust.

I posted this video in my introduction post, but since the topic of sound came up, I thought it might be relevant here. The Crossplane howl at Daytona is one thing I miss - looking forward to re-making this video on the Pani:

Do you two have to contaminate all threads with your boring jokes about AR?. You got him out of this forum so why not leave it to that. Maybe you two or three could start a thread in the lounge and prove each other how funny you are. Like 10 year old girls.

Lol.. I guess Finns have little or no sense of humour?? This thread has been great fun and informative..imo.. it has over 200 posts..Its a sensitive subject in a way and lightening it up does no harm and given the huge amount of spam we had recently I think it makes a change to have an engaged topic....Instead of whining why not bring something ???

Just skimmed through your 60 posts, and a majority of them are you crying about something someone said on an a free internet forum. But yeah, I'm the 10 year old girl. Do you have any insights to add to anything...or just complaints?

Isnt it weird how the R1 sounds like a V4... I do not understand that Crossplane stuff at all but the R1 does sound really sweet..But Its kinda ugly and heavy so whilst I have no beef with it I am still in the Rsv4r vs 1199 situation...

Just proves my point, you have time to go through somebodys posts to make a comment. Luckily I have better things to do than that.

Anyhow, this is a good thread (mostly). I am also interested in the RSV4R and there has been a lot of good info on this thread. Hopefully more RSV4R riders post comparison to the Pani. I4, 2 x V2 and V4 in my garage this summer. That is the plan and that is why I follow this thread.

Took about 30 seconds. I did see you said you were leaving at least once.

I would bet the '14 R1 will see a major overhaul. Internet rumors of it being a three-cylinder are interesting for sure. It's definitely overweight and underpowered in it's current stock form. Does OK at the racing levels though!

2014 may be worth waiting for then...

yeah. it be too much of a lost for you to trade in for anything. Keep it for a while and enjoy it then see what comes out next.

who knows, Ducati might do another update or whatever and everything might change.

It looks like post count is important for some members. My experience with bike forums is that the higher the post count the wider the chicken strips are.

I just look for Pani info here and get fed up with the useless BS on every thread. But this is internet so it is quite normal you have to go through a lot of rubbish to get the info you need.

Please bring something positive.. This whingeing does nothing....

But to YoungR you make a good point,, trading now is looking like a lost cause but next yr I can contemplate it... My bike will have very low mileage

STW and TTKARP, you bring a lot of valuable contribution to this forum. Thank you for that. Maybe you can now thank each other for your informative posts?. Or have a hug? Or post a smiley after each others posts?

Test ride scheduled on RSV4 Saturday AM

Do you have a Pani right now??

Hogdog · May 20, 2013

Test riding an RSV4 at the dealer on Wednesday. Very interested to see the difference after tracking my Pani several times.

I do. Can not get comfortable on it. Goes like snot, brakes and handles great, but just don't like it. Sucks because I'm going to get butt raped with depreciation. But what good is it sitting in the garage?

VAST · May 20, 2013

you going to Brooklyn dealer Lance? i know they have a factory coming in i believe by this weekend...

you keep talking about off topic comments is needless and rubbish, but you are just as guilty as anyone else you keep mentioning.

Relax. Its not like you are paying $ for information. Its free that is for good and bad info but Free is always good in my book.

Unfortuately..as you know...a test ride isn't really enough time to tell a good difference. Hopefully though, you have a good area to wring it out a bit.

Dylzduc · May 20, 2013

I'm diggin the V4 so much I added another to my stable. Bringin it home this week, just waiting for my small mirrors, small signals and tail tidy. i really like v4's, had the old 1986 VFR 750 (the good one) that was an actual racebike and the previous generation 2005 vmax. This is no canyon carver, but the new Max boogies along pretty swiftly for a big machine!
