Just curious as to whether people will run out and buy a new 1299 twin before they are gone because you don't want to get the new V4. I have a five year old 1199 that I love. At this point in my life, and owning two other bikes that I put more miles on I really don't plan to upgrade it. But for a killer deal on a 1299 twin I might.
 
Have a 1199S, and on the fence for the v4 at the moment, I want to wait and see the V4R as well before i make any decision on that. I am happy enough with the 1199, and have ridden a 1299S and see that it is better in many ways, but not enough to make me want to trade from a 1199 to 1299.
 
I grabbed up my 2017 Panni S this weekend. It’s the last V twin and it’s what I wanted. Will it become collectible? I don’t care
 
I will probably buy a V4 in a year or so. I really want one, I want $10,000,000 but I ant going to get it buying every new model pani that comes out.

I was riding with Alessandro Valia ,(not name dropping) a week ago and he explained what he liked about the bike, (I kind of took his word, as he was one of the main development riders). He basically said the bike holds a line way better and the GP electronics make backing it in or drifting corners effortless. Overall it is more compliant and less exhausting to ride.
He also said the overall power band is better, (.... @ 226Bhp it should be).

It does everything better than the previous generation does. The problem is I don't. I am nowhere near the limit of my 1299. I got to see the limit last week with Valia....I should probably say I got to watch him ride while being on the track...lol. The 1299 is still ....... amazing. So I will keep my bike and wait for the rest of the aftermarket world catch up with this bike, which may take a year.

Ducati definitely has a winner. They are also the best in the industry at making people part with money..

Cheers.
 
I watched the Model Intro yesterday and like the look of the V4, not quite as much as my 1299S, but would buy one if I had money to burn.

Although it's probably the next step up from my 1299S, I know I could not explore the new performance in the V4 as the 1299S is beyond my capability.

I think it's the right way to go for Ducati, but I won't be trading in my 1299S.

I also don't think it will make the 1299's any more desirable.

I just wish they had come up with a new name for it.
 
HP to the crank and BHP is the same

It is my understanding BHP = brake horsepower. The rating of horsepower at the crankshaft. (engines power). Please correct if I am wrong.
Thanks
 
i have a 2012 1199 s and made it into a carbon tricolore. i also made the s basically an R before the R came out. not making the same mistake twice.

here is my plan. 1 wait. i will get the r version when it comes out the second year it comes out. i am guessing about 3 years from now. make the 1199 my track bike have the v4 .

happy with that plus im paying for jet skis right now

Chris, just to clarify, I don't think it will make the 1299 any more desirable in the technical sense of the word either. For me it's all ablout whether it makes it cheaper. I'm close to retirement and my days of flipping all of my vehicles every 2-3 years is probably going to come to an end (currently two cars and three bikes).

Because the other two bikes get ridden a lot, 9-10,000 miles a year on each of them and 4,000 a year on the Ducati, it makes more sense for me to put my motorcycle dollars into upgrading the other two. My Ducati will always be a relatively low mileage bike. The only way I'd flip it for a new one is if the dollars are below a certain threshold. And I could care less about whatever the new V4 has to offer.

I appreciate the conversation this is generating.

Good points and agree that NO other company does better than Ducati.:cool:

I have few issues like using same S wheels, no new name, not so good looking side, very much like previous Panigale look (was hoping for more Desmo RR look). They went with very edgy and square design look yet the Tank looks MORE round than previous version....Odd.

Having said all that I probably wait few years and see what other Special models come out like SL or Desmo RR version 2. If not, I'll probably pick up later year R model. :D
 
I just bought a brand-new 10miles 1199s last month for a decent price. It comes with 24month warranty and I love looking forward riding it a lot over the next 1,5 year...after which I will trade it for a V4 S or R...which is simply incredible and the closest to a MotoGP bike that can be bought nowadays. By that time the early bugs will be fixed, and price may have dropped when the year changes....

And I will enjoy every minute on each bike and will feel the 'improvement' on the new V4 over the 1199 twin.

And still have an 'old lump' 916 to enjoy the 'grunty days'.

Life is good! Happy Ducati has released this new bike!
 
My bike is at 30000kms so have been thinking weather to get another or not.

I'll wait to see the price in Australia, The panigale has been expensive to play around with,
especially when i got it ready for track duty.
 
I could not care less for the costs of the V4
I'm going to watch and see if it has any Ducati feel good .... going on.... like water or oil leaks, or cutting out or excessive heat .......

I like having the latest toys in my toy box, (and the hottest blonde .... at the gym) gagging on my python


Early days for me..... as for the comments on Ducati making clients part with there money? You guys need to meet the team from the UK who make the carbon super cars .... only difference is they build a reiliable vehicle

I'm not overly happy with my 1299 having some issues with it in the recent past so I'm not sure I will,add this pregnant looking V 4 to my collection
Will be reading with interest the comments from the older well schooled members who love the character building Ducati brings to ther boring fuking lives
 
Jesus christ @Captain Greg, what is your ....... problem?

It seems with every post you are getting more hostile...

If you really have a McLaren, a Ducati, a smoking hot girl, and a huge ...., would you have the need to be on an internet forum bragging about it all the time? :rolleyes:

If you don't like your Panigale - get rid of it. Simple as.
It's pretty obvious that 9/10 people on here are sick of hearing you whining about it all the time.
 
Yes Captain Greg please sell the 1299 already. A good tea bagging surely should sustain you long enough to wad the Mac Klaren!!:eek::eek::eek:
 
Conversely , a huge girlfriend with a smoking hot .......
(and mandatory tea-bagging) might silence his complaints...
