Delivery of the 1199R !

Wonder how much bigger it is and what the gains were from the redesign. Not to stray off subject, but are the customers that purchased the full system given the option to replace the old headers with the redesigned ones?
 
Congratulations on your new toy :D
Hurry up and get past the break-in period so you can give us your impressions about the bike. I need to know before it arrives in the US ;)
 
very nice bike. you are very lucky.

With the R I have been searching for reviews but Ducati Did not release this to the press first?
 
Interesting that the swingarm mounting hardware has an additional bolt or something in it.

The additional bolt is a lock...as the swingarm pivot is adjustable on the R. Notice the numbers "0" and "+2" engraved on the edges?

We dont get that on the Base, S and Tri.
 
That big monstrous Heatshield is fine for hot temperate climates like ours....

But for cold countries...you can just use the standard carbon DP Heatshield for a full exhaust system...heat aint a bother for you guys!

Here in the Philippines though...I would go for the bigger heatshield...its just F..kin hot here! We need the updated heatshields badly...

Today my 1199R was delivered, beautiful in the flesh. Unfortunately it started snowing today, still around 0 ºC. Have to wait for better Wx.
Started her up, sounds great (she does smoke a bit though:D)

Enjoy the pics:

I see it's delivered with the termi's my stealer told me it had to have the factory exhaust for 1000k's???????
 
Guys, when I get my R next coming days I will have a short driving report. It is being finished now for delivery. My dealer has 5 bikes for this year and that should be it for the whole year.
 
Comparing R headers to the regular upgrade headers:

1) the loop looks far bigger bore

2) the section that shows through the fairing looks smaller

That's what I was noticing. I saw the R at the IMS show in Novi and had my picture taken on it, but I did not notice the massively larger pipe. Why design it on this bike and not for others?
 
Guys, the loop isn't bigger then the full system I had on my S. Look at the photos. Now the header pipe could be a tad smaller, but I am not sure. I heard they did that for more torque. Akra does the same thing.

Hi Bob and Patrick,

The other 2 Panigale 1199R that our Dealer Zaltbommel Received are ordered by Me and My son.
Think our delivery will take place end of next week.

They are installing some DP parts as we speak (short numberplate holder - the DP footpegs / shifter - Brembo HPK disks and Marchessini magnesium wheels)

I think its great that 4 of the 5 Ducati panigale R owers from (NL) Zaltbommel are active on this Forum (not Sure if Nicky Romero is active here).

Lots of Safe and happy Miles / Kilometers,

Gerard and Randy
 
Hi Gerard, Randy. Nice to hear from you. It seems that we are the first 5 in the world that get our R. Not a single word on the internet of other deliveries. Where a small country can be big.
 
Gratz on the R's guys !
En nu weg met die sneeuw bagger pokke-ellende !
Patrick did the Dutch bikes came with the old style exhaust heatshield ?

Hoi Gerard and Randy,

Nice to hear from you, great that you are getting 2 R's !! Let us know when they are delivered (pics)!

Have a good weekend,

Bob
 
I'm confused as in this clip the R has engine covers factory installed :confused:

The R comes from the factory with the street legal exhaust system, which was removed on mine before delivery. Also the standard big black heat shield and cylinder cover (as shown on the movie) were removed as I found the cylinder cover ugly.
The Termignoni carbon (big) heat shield was installed as part of the bigger exhaust system.
