Mark I wonder if the the Californian school uses them because they are such a user freindly bike and !!! Anybody !!! Can ride them. The 1199 is not a bike that just anybody can jump on and ride, it's a bike that has to be ridden and ridden with lots of respect. My last bike was a jap 4cyl and yes it was an awesome bike (1984 1100 katana with some quick mods) each to there own, have a great Christmas and wheels pointing down for the New Year.

They use them because BMW sponsors the school. Had another manufacture stepped up, they would be using those.

Jason Pridmore uses the 899 Panigale. I would love to go to his school.

You race world superbike? Can I have your autograph?
Silly argument you could have a single cylinder thats 1199 cc's if you would really want that would most likely be a great motor.

It's not the bike. I like the bike. I looked at them when I bought my 1199. Obviously I could have afforded one - it's less than the 1199. I'd agree overall you get more on the BMW than the 1199. I4s don't catch my interest. I'd prefer a V4 but Aprilia dealers are too far away for me - and a bit too small for me. So I went with the twin.
What gets me is Mark's constant "BMW is better, BMW is better" crap. It is. I don't care. I'm not fast enough to use any of them to their full potential. I get he likes the BMW better. Good for him.
It's ....... annoying when I have to go on a Ducati forum and see him spouting the same .... over and over. And I don't even post much.
I see you're in Ohio. Perhaps I'll see you at Mid Ohio or Putnam this year.

I'll be at Mid Ohio on my 750 and my brother with his RSV4. I have a BMW obviously but do enjoy the 1199 as well I just felt the BMW was the better bike. I can see why people like the Ducati however. Merry Christmas.
