Softest high-end indoor cover?

92GTA · Nov 7, 2014

What would you guys/gals say the very softest, best paint protecting cover is for the Panigale? I have the 899 so no clear coat. I tend to take it on and off often as my bike never sits for long in my garage between rides. I'm worried my current cover, which is a cheap indoor/outdoor cover, is scratching the paint when I put it on and take it off.

Short of paying someone local to make me a custom cover, what is the best pre-made cover I can buy?

Thanks! Alex

I really do too but I've never touched one and don't know what the inside liner feels like or if it even has a super soft inside liner for that matter. Allot of liners I've felt are polyester or a blend, not 100% undyed cotton which is a must for no scratching.

That cover is nice but way too expensive IMO. Ducati has a generic one for under $100 that I have and it does the job for me.

I have that cover but it's for a 1198 , it is so soft it's unvelieveable and is made by a Italian named Adrea , He makes same covers for high end Italian sport cars . It's a indoor cover only and there is a reason its so much money but until you see and hold in person it's hard to justify . I could never put a nylon cover on after owning this one . The material is too of the line , never seen a cover like it

You are referring to the $350 one with the drawing of the bike on it, correct?

That's sounds like exactly the quality I'm looking for! I plan on keeping this bike for the long haul, not just a few years like my 848, so I'm willing to make the investment.

It's not big $$ for the drawing on side , even the smell it gives your house or garage is cool it's well worth it for me . Never been on his web site but I been wanting to look, it's (covers by Adrea )

$400 for a bike cover, I think its proven to make the 1199 go faster.

My bike is faste enough so I got a slower cover

Cover fits great and seems nice and soft to me and my Tri hasn't complained one bit.

Thank you for the pic! I just bought that one, good value I think.

No problem. Glad I could help.

I was fortunate to get one as a gift a couple of months ago. I'm pretty sure they paid the full $360 and it is very cool to look at. The cover is a work of art.

The generic Ducati one works great. I gained 5hp and some more low end torque.

I have this cover. Fit is great, as long as you have the DP tail tidy, otherwise a little tight.

No liner, but it's soft enough fabric.

Great looking for red bike owners, but hiding away a Tricolore....... what was I thinking

Should have got a clear cover

I picked up this fitted cover for my 1199 R, and its great, not bad for $68
