As a forum member and contributor to the forum I can't believe you said that and he could be a possibly customer of your... Don't you core exhaust for "forum member." Smh

He puts out great content, has great mechanical insight on panigale's and can probably out ride most Squids on this forum.. I'm going to wait a year and get the M package per the Above video... Retire the 1299 next summer.. Thanks guys for the positive comments.....

Haha I mean I bought my 2015 1299S in 2019 for a steal so maybe in a few years there will be more great deals.

I will never replace my 1299, just keep adding. I still have my Daytona 675 but that’s feeling slow to me now

Campisis latest build series shows dyno info between the 2 bikes in stock form at the dealership. Next episode to have latest dyno after exhaust,tune and air filter.

I distinguish a bit between personal conversations and bla-bla- moto-vlogging

No matter what Im keeping my 1299. Way to much work done to it to sell it. And I want to keep a bike with the old motor. Im debating whether to sell my S1000R or S1000RR. Both BMWs have so much work in them. The S1000R has at least 42 mods done to it. Im most likely going to try and sell the S1000R and replace it with either a V4, Street Fighter or maybe wait till next year and get the new Aprilia RSV4. Rumor has it that a new one is finally coming out

I agree with you 100%. No two people ride the same. And 99% of the riders out there will never track their bikes. And those that do only a handful will be able to use the bike for what it was built for. I track my bikes. And I ride freakin hard on the tracks. Im a bad ass and no one is better than me. But thats how I feel when Im on the track. But the reality is Im no where near how most guys ride on the track. I have so much to learn. In my mind if im going a certain speed Im a motogp rider. In reality im a probably a snail lol. I dont think majority of the guys on this forum or in the real world will ever ride their bikes to their full potential. And these guys read reviews and thats what their minds are set on. Its all about advertisements. I remember hearing this one dude complain about an issue he had on his Honda CBR1000RR. All of a sudden the forum was abuzz on how the CBR1000RRs have this one issue. And it all stemmed from one guy posting one particular issue. Lol

Not to bump an older thread, but did you ever take the plunge?

On Tuesday, I am picking up a 2018 V4S with about 6500 miles on the clock, 7500 mile service just completed, and it was just under $20K. One owner, sold at the same dealership it was traded back in to, and where I'm grabbing it from.

I still mostly see the base models under $20K, the "S" tends to be about $22-23K on the secondary market.

The plunge

Yah! That's ridic....but the $100K entry price is kind of a barrier LOL. What a frickin bike tho...
