So, I got to play with the bike for 15mins today, but no riding yet!!

1) Started it. Yes some smoke, but I was hardly surprised. It revs like a madman and sounds incredible. Very, very loud with standard cans, can't even talk over it. Sounds reassuringly like a Ducati, yet blips nothing like v-twin - too fast up and down!! It is a slightly scary prospect ...... but that may be because it cost EUR30k and the rear tyre had been shinned up for the show like a greased ferret ready to go down a hole :eek:

2) The LEDs. Never had anything with LED main and dipped beam. Flicking between the two was sick. Just like bam-bam. They even cast a noticeable pattern in 30C midday sun.

OK, so I'm clearly suffering. This is torture. Need to ride my bike tomorrow!!!

my wife loves it, she helped me restore one of the bikes and helps when I do major projects. she helped me pull the frame off my streetfighter for a repaint.
 
Holy crap, that is . . . wow. I'm not easily impressed, and this garage/house/office does it, kudos to you!

Don't be too impressed, 4 of the 6 bikes in that first picture are gone, I've sold off quite a few of the collection.

Well it's still sickeningly (sp?) awesome IMO, the Panigale should fit in nicely. Maybe if I ever get stationed at Ft Carson (are you listening Uncle Sam?), I could link up with you and tstephenson for a ride.
 
I told the wife that we should park it in the living room. I now have proof how good it looks
