Wife upgraded me yesterday... You can see my old 2012S in the foreground at the shop with the R being assembled in the background. They were swapping some radiator guards and bits...



Taking her out today. Break her in properly! Like I stole it!



Excited to see how this one performs!

My Wife is an amazing Lady. She has bought me 4 Duc's. The 2014 R replaced the 2012 S. Took the R out yesterday with some of my riding buddies. Rode it like I stole it and she performed brilliantly. My S was fast and a thrill but the R is faster yet. 3rd gear power wheelies every time. 4th gear power wheelies will happen on occasion as well. Power band is more broad. Love it!

Headed to Glen Rose TX this morning for some more romping.

Thank you Marty and Jordan at AMS Ducati. You guys are good friends and always treat me like I'm your #1 customer.

Very generous wife you have there! I noticed from the second picture, they have the bike supported on a trolley jack under the exhausts. Presumably to support it whilst the rear suspension tie rod is seen disconnected. Did they change your setting from F to P or vice versa?

I knew a guy who bought his wife a expensive handbag for valentines day in return he got to put his ..... in her bottom .
I think he would have preferred a Panigale R .
