Well, I'm new to this site yes and I own a panigale. Sine the bike came out in April of this year, I'd say we are all new owners. I've been sporting for 12 years, raced a couple of those. I'm sure Ducati is fixing issues on the line as I write this, and I'm sure from the stories about peoples Duc shops on here are Fairly true. I dealt with a couple other shops in the SoCal region, and experienced some of the same things that has been stated. I own 4 Ducs, 996, 999s, Monster 796, and the 1199. Recalls are important to me because I was a victim of the Suzuki recall in 2007 with the GSXR1000. I had a pretty bad accident from the recalls not getting done. SO I TAKE THE RECALL ISSUES SERIOUSLY.
