Tweet from Troy "10 kg less then 1198 and 25 hp more , every one here seems very impressed apart one guy that threw bike at barrier , seems to bounce good"

The first Panigale hit the dust - Bound to happen :(

Silly Journalist who think they can ride.

Can't See Vid

Kills me to say I can't see vid, all blocked in here in China, back home to UK 14th Feb, can't wait. A little disappointed MCN said they were going to be in Dubai now I understand they are in AbuDabi, (forgive the spelling it's a while since I lived in the UAE), which is about 1 hour drive away, pleased I didin't make the effort to go. Either way the Ducati 1199 Panigale sounds as though it is shaping up to be a Good Un !!. Oh I do hope so.

Well, at least now we'll be able to find out how the hold up in a crash. So far, we know they bounce.

They probably just said that since people know where Dubai is. Abu Dhabi sounds like a quaint spot in the desert with nothing but camels and mud huts. The general public are usually ignorant and it was most likely a move to appeal to the masses.

Nice! The quick dash shot confirms my gearing calcs from the dyno thread; 10.4K rpm at 255kph in 5th is spot on. Panigale's turning nearly 1K rpm more than the 1198 was at that speed, and generating about 25 more HP. That ought to be noticeable... ;)

Good catch Steve B. This thing is going to be soooo much fun to ride!

Great two page review, Thanks :D

I just want a review to see if they say its cramped or not for the taller guys.

From the visor down review:

"...it would suit taller riders better than most superbikes."

Thanks Jonah. Excellent review from Ben at VisorDown. I like his take on EBC as well, the only slightly negative point in the review. I could see where EBC would take some getting used to, though like all of Ducati's rider aids, it can be turned off.

Now, will Ducati please let me have a go!
