I got to ride the new 1299 Panigale S and here is my review for the street

I have been commuting on mine for 3 weeks now and it's perfectly good as a commute bike.. As the engine breaks in, it's producing less heat and the engine frees up. I am running in race mode and don't find it an issue, although to be fair, I ran my BMW S1000RR in race mode as well, so I have developed a pretty sensitive throttle hand.

Cheers.

This is great to hear. I can't wait to pick mine up. I don't know if it will ever replace my hyper as the true daily but man alive it's a blast to ride. If it works out who knows, maybe ill sell the hyper and 365 this thing.
 
Very True

You don't need race mode for the DQS, although you obviously can ride it in race mode too ;)

My concern for the street is that the rake is now a little too steep for my taste. I wonder about swapping out steering heads with an 1199 to go back to a "more relaxed" turn in.

I concur with your statement about NOT needing it in RACE Mode to use any DQS as I use it ALL THE TIME and love it.

What I'd like to know from you Showerfan, is what kind of dog ya got there in pic with your bike? Not sure if you know I have a true certified Service Dog for TBI & PTSD trained for 18 months straight before he was even released to me, from Puppies Behind Bars. Therefore I'm a HUGE dog lover too!

You should see the video of Graves Yamaha and Josh Hayes presenting him with a specially signed water bowl at the races at NJMP. I can post it if anyone cares? ;)
Off topic - yup.
Loved more than any bike ever - absolutely!!
