I've ridden BMW S1krr in the race track and its boring comparing to Pani. Not saying its not capable or not fast...just boring.

What make's it more boring? Engine characteristic. Especially for street.

I won't go into it too much and bore you, In Australia BMW do an Invited track day once a year (they didn't do it this year) and you can take your bike and ride a selected BMW I always choose the latest S1000RR to ride, love the BMW but after you get off it and onto a Pani it all becomes clear.

Nothing wrong with the BMW but it aint a 90VEE :) or L which ever floats your boat.

Couldn't agree more. I have both and I pick the Pani every time going to the track.
 
Maybe I would need to try out the S1K myself to really know what you guys talk about.
In the mean im gonna stick to my pani until something turn my eye!
 
I have never ridden the S1k, but my interpretation from people who's ridden both S1k and Pani is that the BMW is a solid, can't do wrong machine, while the Pani makes you .... your pants.

Does that explain 'boring'?

I've always called it "Sterile"! :D
 
Back in 2011 My options for a new bike was between S1000RR and RSV4 Factory. Aprilia won that coparsion with 9-1. RSV4 was more fun to ride, better riding position (better handlebar angle that suited my hands much better), better midrange, much better sound and much sexier to look at etc. Only benefit S1000RR had was more top end power. After that I have never ridden a S1000RR. It is for sure a great (track) bike but for me there is no return from an Italian superbike to an I4 (which I have owned plenty of before the ape).

The BMW to me is like my R6 on steroids.
Does things really well and is great on track but its really boring and uninspiring on the street unless you're revving it (and breaking all laws which isn't practical)

The Ducati twin shakes, burbles, makes all sorts of sounds and just feels alive.
Also it has the advantage of torque so you get to feel the power without revving it sky high which again is impractical on the street.
 
There a good reason why Superbike schools picked the S1000RR to fill their stable. Very much resemble the German design philosophy, no BS, functional approach.

yeah I rode their S1000RR at the school. BORING :D

Did you know British California Superbike schools have Ducati Panigale? How do you explain that?

no BS, Funtional approach with Italian beauty, emotions, and excitement? :D:D
