there are many rich men on this forum; some even threw down and bought SLs
I thought I bought an SL; turns out I just bought a semi-fancy R with some carbon bits.
Oh well, I guess I'll take solace in the +20hp and 40lbs weight savings vs the R. If that's semi-fancy then all I can say is:

If either one of us can outpace the other on the street, then one of us is doing it very wrong (that applies even if it's base vs SL).
On a track - who's to say? All of these bikes are really capable and a blast to ride, and I have no doubt there are riders on this forum who could best me on the track with a bike half as capable as mine - but who or how many isn't something I worry about too much.
I'm ready to go for a friendly-but-obviously-aggressive whip on the twisties of upstate NY whenever you are, though

i was being facetious in the spirit of the inverse pissing contest of misunderstood terms and obtuse opining;; ; ;; ;
my aggressive street riding days are well behind me....
friendly rides are all i am capable of........trying to gauge this week and when i can go....i suspect we both want to avoid peak manhattan vehicular idiocy (i did ride last night in West Vill and back up here).....

Hey! I am insulted!!!
It wasn't a tranny!! It was elitesoldier when he/she was a pre-op ... change. We did elope and now live in the finest trailer park you've ever seen. Next year I'm gonna spring for a double wide!!
JK and no offense to any Tranny's and or pre-ops out there
I'm still riding the crap out of my bikes. Got rid of the Multi even tho I loved it; it was too wide for commuting in NYC area.
Did pass on the SL but not cuz it was a gussied up R...just finally had to put the brakes on in the middle of the slippery slope slide which is Ducati ownership and the need to upgrade or add-on to them.
And finally; after almost 30 yrs of riding; I got punted off my bike on the parkway by a dolt who decided to change lanes without even turning his head or signaling.
My fault really as I broke my number one rule and that was to never ride along side a car/truck or whatever. I always try to put myself in a visible spot but had just been thru a long day and was just actually cruising home instead of trying to break the sound barrier as per usual
Mainly cosmetic damage to my ride and somehow I sprang off of it while it was going down and did some innate ninja type of roll and popped up onto my feet unscathed !! Friggin' totally jacked up on adrenalin after that, I can tell you !!
Been lurking here now and again and keeping tabs on you animals.
Hope all are well and healthy and riding every chance you get.

RSR...Glad you did not get hurt or worse.....so now what did happen to Frosty the deer murderer ?
BTW it was funny how my question on the fate of RSR descended into something else.

Some of you should change your forum settings so you're not sifting through multiple pages. All I see is 2 pages (40 posts per page)
They made the primer bike to appeal to this Turk. If there wasn't a white, I'd still not own a Panigale. Neither red or black do it for me. The Tri would have but it was overpriced and over my desired budget.
