scooped up Eleven 99's 2014 R last weekend and must say was the most pleasurable transaction i could ever imagine: what a cool dude and a true gentleman.

anyhow, am absolutely loving this wild bike! so much more fun than the BMW and perhaps it isn't as smooth overall but that's exactly what i like about it; i'm not trying to win any races and so the visceral enjoyment factor unique to the Pani is far far greater to me than the S1000RR or for that matter the 1*98s. and this thing turns so much better than any duck i've ever ridden...

still getting used to her and it's been a real blast in this short time....

(and the DP rearsets are a MUST ; stock pegs are a liability imnsho)

will update later and provide better pics, but here she is in garage (iPhone pics):

Sincere congratulations to you my old forum buddy!
Couldn't be happier for ya and wish you all the best with your new toy!
I know you will ride that thing the way its meant to be done and with a visible smile even from inside a tinted helmet visor man!

All the best VAST!

PS. Love the shine you have on it too VAST!!!
 
thx man! it's funny you say that re grin : i literally couldnt stop smiling; even my boys at stoplights were grinning because i was grinning....i launched her hard on the West Side HW other night and man that thing was like riding a grenade with itz pin pulled trying to hold it together from blowing up -- really fun!

it's perfectly (un)refined for my tastes....

THX!

Enjoy her. It is difficult to find the right words to describe the ownership/riding experience.......but it is overwhelmingly positive. At least for me. :)
