Well went for my first proper ride today, the weather was perfect, did around 180km and I am pleased to say its still a Ducati 
I traded my Streetfighter in on this thing and I was really worried that I was going to miss the anti-social behaviour of the Testastretta but I needn't have worried. This Duke still vibrates, still pops and crackles (albeit muted by the stock exhaust at the moment), still shakes the mirrors and most importantly, puts a smile on my face. I made the mistake of going for an S1000RR after my 1198S and realised my mistake very quickly...Anyway, this ts still a Ducati! Yay!

Where did you get the tank protector from
.... same colour as the car I guess

Haha, after reading these forums I am petrified that the edges are going to lift off the tank so that tape is staying on until tomorrow!

Its not a cup car. Its a 997s with what looks loke a factory Aero kit. GT3 has vent in front of hood and stinger (not seen in this pic )exhaust. Your correct when you say they are a lot of Variants. Porshe website now has the new 991 GT3 cup car in a video which means the street version is probably a year away. But this a Pani forum so PANIGALE PANIGALE PANIGALE PANIGALE!PANIGALE PANIGALE PANIGALE PANIGALE!PANIGALE PANIGALE PANIGALE PANIGALE!PANIGALE PANIGALE PANIGALE PANIGALE!

Actually, I have the clear tank protector and with the exception of one tiny bubble that the 'OCD' part of me can't stand; I have been very happy with it.
I think, however, I mounted it a bit higher than Ducati planned for it to be, so perhaps that is why it is staying put.

To me a cup car is a race car which that is not but you are correct they call it a cup kit. Idk why b/c it doesnt look anything like a cup race car. Wing is much larger and lighter on the race car

I was adding a photo while you responded. I'm not sure about it yellowing. I guess if it does I'll just get a new one. The lower part of the tank where I think it was designed to protect is OK so far. This was just a temporary one till they corrected whatever was the problem with these stickers.
On my last bike, I waited a few weeks before putting one on and got a couple of minor scratches that really pissed me off. I wasn't going to make the same mistake again.
I'll roll with this until I need to replace, but this is good for now & don't see that changing unless it yellows I suppose. I can tell you that it's been just fine since September.

I think you would have stoppped the car talk if you typed just one more Panigale, but then there is that last word syndrome.
I think someone else mentioned this in another thread but tapeworks.com has a wide selection of decals and is where i got my corse decals from. They have a huge range of colors and i got mine very fast and they were perfect. I got mine in pearl white.
