Hey, Mark! Those hazard lights are definitely worth that extra $1K!
I mean come on, next well have line item charges for this bike lol.
$1,200 for EBC. $990 for ABS on the R, etc etc.

Kidding ;)

They seriously couldn't put hazards on the '13? I guess they just forgot. Ya know, kinda like how they forgot to tighten bolts and place threadlocker on half the bike :D

Can the moderators make a category thread for WhitePani and mark419ny to conduct their bitch sessions? Or direct them to the Monistat forum?

Getting tiresome.

And regarding the R. I think I paid $1000 off and price included all prep and install of Termi etc.

Bottom line, you pay what you pay. It's an R. And a special machine at that.

Thanks! thats the kind of answer I was looking for. Did you finance it through Ducati or personal credit union? If through Ducati, what rate did you get?

you know what is tiresome all you ducati drones saying how special the R is. why is it special cause ducati said its special? cause it has a special engine wait it doesnt, it must be special cause of the sticker package. thats it lets go with that
if you dont want to read what i write use ignore . pretty simple. see you on ducati island at indy when ducati comes in oh thats right last of the factory bikes. hey maybe it can beat tech 3 but i doubt it.

Do you think it's the same as the S ? Surely you now it's more than a sticker .

Their thanks to post rate is actually about the same . Some just post more than others .
Posting the same thing over and over is not really posting it's like listening to someone with a stutter .

Jc is at 3.1 and mark is at 4.3 so I strongly disagree with you wilkson . You race so you know numbers are everything a second off is 1st place vs 4th place in some instances so I beg to differ.


"Post to thanks rate"

But most of his thanks would have come from that White Pani guy anyway so they don't really count .
So I'm actually most likely right .;)

surely you cant be serious. i know there are subtle differences which 99.9 % on this forum couldnt use or tell me how it makes a difference. all you r guys how many times have you adjusted the swing arm. better yet did you even know you could adjust the swing arm. I love this forum i really do i will have to post more than i do. get all your panties in a bunch cause the panigale is the 3rd best bike out. here have a tissue.

that being said i would have bought the R if it were out when i got the S because i love the tank

I have to lose 50lbs of fat before I notice difference with swing arm I think the R is a better bargain if you plan on buying terms wheels and carbon ... I am upset that its not numbered on the triple tree but the design in terms of tank and the subtle touches make the decision even better for the R .... I was sold on the s then the R came out which made me breathless .... But SL is a living room piece if I bought it I would be nervous all the time..... love my R I would do it 10x over if I could never rode a base or S but a lot of people say it feels different
 
Lmfao in terms of thanks I'm thanking every one of marks posts .... Ducati has fans ? Pssssttt mark is sooooo the new thing innnnn I will follow and thank mark !!!!! Will come to Staten Island for an autograph....


I am forever a mark419ny fan!!!!

I have mine set on -2 . I also like the titanium rods and the lightened flywheel it spins up quicker compared to my old bike . The extra rpm's are also a bonus found I can run the bike out just that little bit more on some corners without have to change .I also have more confidence I am not going to spit out a con rod .
I also like the fact I can change gearing and profiles of tyres and the bike will adjust to suit .

You see in my form of racing it's more about the rider than the bike .
I race a Pani because I like to ride a Ducati . I get to see real world differences between the BMW and Ducati other than what is written or a dyno graph will show .
You got to get past what you see WSBK teams doing . Bikes are made for ordinary Joes like you and me and what you can do with it .
