Delivery of my Panigale 1199 R

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

I agree with the removal of the head covers! I saw them on the pictures from the North American 1199R Launch at "Circuit of the Americas" in Texas and thought they looked to "Japanese" like trying to cover the nice magnesium color of the cylinder head. I also think the regular carbon fibre exhaust cover looked better then the extended one but if there is no option, oh well. I will be receiving my new 1199R in May, I expect, here in the states. Can't wait! Trading in my 1199 S version for it. Obviously, I have to pay some extra $ too! Awesome bike though. Congratulations!
 
Too all, thank you.

We are lucky enough to ride these bikes. Hard working for years pays off. We all started with nearly nothing. My first car was a French ........ Simca 1100 that already rusted in the brochure. First bike a Kawasaki Z650. But we have to remember there is more in life then only material things. Oh how philosophical. Walking or horseback riding Big Bend National Park f.e. Every year in October me and my wife attend a Terlingua Shelby event. It is a get together of a group of friends with 40 Shelbys. During that event we raise $20k for several causes, like the schools, EMS and Activets.

Too true buddy,
I have an S that I have developed a love for. We have been on some adventures together already. I will keep it. Of course if money was no object then a R in the stable to do some club racing now that would be fun.
Back to reality for me and ocasional track day on my S.

Congrats on your new bike. It looks great.
 
Mooi man !
Thought you opted the golden rims :confused:

To be honest i prefer the black rims, never understood the gold hype.

No, that is one of the other bikes. I prefer black too. On a black RSV4 they look good, but not on red. But others will like them.
 
Congratulations Patrick ! Bike is stunning, the tank is a real piece of art. Have fun modifying it and safe riding.

Yeah, I know - but we are all rich if we own even one Panigale!! Can you imagine when you were sixteen, if someone said you would be paying 19K for your bike somday? At 16 my first was a Honda CL100, paid $500!!! (but I was riding it around PB FL I might add :) )

Well said! If someone told me a handful of years ago I'd be riding a ducati flagship bike,i would have laughed.Every Panigale is la creme de la creme and something to be proud of!!
 
Congrats, sensational piece. Looks like you have the DP license plate holder..did it come with that or did you order it..or am i wrong? Those pictures with the gold rims are the first i've seen.Are some coming like that or is it a request...don't like it personally. Only flaw on the bike...like every 1199 are the mirrors.Big..ugly...goofy looking and totally destroys the flow of the bike. Ordered mine today..they said they are supposed to arrive in april but not to hold my breath....

Yes, I did order it. The R comes with all the DP carbon stuff except the lp holder and tank protector. I also have the race seat, which is thicker in cushion but smaller near the tank for more agility. My bike is the one at the first page of this thread.

The bike with the gold rims is not mine, but from another customer. I agree with the gold and red not mixing. But it is personal taste.
