Hello all;
I live in Hawaii and I'm new (as you can sure tell) to this site. I have been riding since young, started on dirt bikes and progressed from there. I currently ride an 07 GSXR 1000 that I've had since new. I've always liked the looks of the Ducatis, and Im especially in love with the 1299 (base or S) Panigale. Im finally in a position to buy one so I've been researching and reading the posts on this and other sites. I am aware of different issues with the bike but at this point in my life I can take a risk and buy with my heart. I will however, welcome any advice towards the purchase (what to look for, characteristics) of a new Ducati.

Thank You,
DJ
 
Welcome. :) I'm new here as well and am looking to buy Base or S 1299 as well. Just haven't decided to pull the trigger yet. Like you I'm still doing my research and trying to arm myself with knowledge for when I go talk to the dealer.

Good Luck with purchase! :)
 
Yes been educating myself a lot. Just went and visited the dealership again today. I have decided to get the 2015 1299 base. Should have it by next weekend.....
 
Finally...... I picked up a 2015 Panigale 1299 base. Rode it yesterday and it is definitely a different experience. Love the power and the looks. I can't wait till I finish the break in and am able to open it up. Thanks to all here who have discussed the Pros and Cons made the decision to purchase easy.
 
Excellent! Glad you like the bike. It looks like you did some good searching. You will love your bike. Have fun with it and stay safe.
 
Congratulations. Whatever Hawaiian island you're on will feel a lot smaller now.
 
Thanks. I definitely took my time. I love this thing. I have been just been staring at it. Lol
