MCN out today - puts R ahead of competition

Help Support Ducati Forum:

So did this turn into who's the oldest? It pretty intriguing to factor in age to forum personalities.

I would have sworn some of you were younger...

Actually, I do read articles on my phone, but hopefully the app is available for download on my iPad. Thanks for the info.

I'm impressed.

61 here. Not ready for a GoldWing or any other sofa just yet.
 
Damn....and my wife gave me .... (to no avail) about my age and buying the 1199r...and I'm 'only' 44.

Sounds like I've got a lot more of those conversations coming up in the future.

Congrats fellows on life well lived and the fun your still having.

. The R was specifically setup for this test whereas none of the other bikes were so not really a level playing field IMO.

The marketing/performance folks at most of these brands are well aware of the importance of these types of articles. Why they would not have their bike set up properly is beyond me.

Also 61 ... man, how 'bout all us wizened folks stepping forward here? Good to see that gray/no hair doesn't mean you're ready for the knacker just yet! :D
 
45 here. Tried the cruizer and it made me feel like I was 70. No Offense. I hope when Im 70 I can still ride these amazing machines.

Purely the track and the only criteria was which was fastest. Apparently after the S lost the shoot out at the track against the BMW last year Ducati tested there to find out why. The R was specifically setup for this test whereas none of the other bikes were so not really a level playing field IMO.

Times
Panigale R 146.7
BMW HP4 147.7
Aprilia RSV4 149.8
MV F4RR 153.9

Hahahaha... Do you honestly think the other factories aren't making sure their media bikes aren't as great as possible? If the others are not trying to get notes for setup, that's their issue and shows they aren't testing their bikes. ;)
