On that there farm of his
Got delivered Xmas eve, had it painted straight from the crate and a set of Akra's put on.
Feck me it's like a ... starved crack addicted Viking on the rampage.

And that's why I bought it....

Nice choice on paint design. Bike looks fantastic, and I agree with your physical description of the experience.

Cheers!
 
Thanks folks, shock is on the radar, have toyed with red wheels on photoshop and am giving it some thought.
Had the 899 before with red wheels and they were a .... to keep clean as the UK is more wet than dry!
 
That's looks awesome,
if you don't mind me asking where in the UK did you get the paint job done?
Did you get a good deal?

Paint was done by Dream Machine, gave £18k for the bike with Akras (Ducati promotion), bespoke paint, gold Renthal chain, carbon gearbox cover and full venture shield.

As a comparable, Dream Machine charge £1k for the paint alone if you get it done independently.
 
naaahhh. the Panigale is a superbike, not some lexus car or toyota prius.
I will never understand why people want their hyper-powered sport toys to look so inconspicuously.

Very typical in Switzerland: Manager want a 700hrsp Audi, but in black. Soccer-moms want's a 500hrsp Porsche SUV in black, grey or white.

Why the heck should I paint a Panigale in black/white/grey. These colors are all the same for me: variations of grey.

Sorry, my personal opinion.

Not everyone likes the flash. I almost didn't buy my 1299 because it only came in red....I've grown to like it now, but it wouldn't have been my first choice either. To each their own :)

Or simply because I didn't want a red bike?????

I like it. Would of bought almost any color other than red if it was offered.
