    The test ride EXPERIENCE: Ducati 1299 Panigale

    Well, I test rode one today for about 45-min. Damn near couldn't sleep last night because I was so excited. At first I wasn't going to post, but decided to. Okay, DEEP BREATH! :eek: Arrived to the dealer and couldn't wait to get in the saddle. Got geared-up and headed for the road...

    What else do you ride?

    Hey guys, Curious what other bikes you folks ride besides your 1199. (Hopefully this isn't a duplicate post) I just picked up an MV Agusta Dragster. Still breaking her in but I'm impressed. Much more comfortable than either the 1199R or SC, but obviously a totally different beast. The...

    Ride Height Tool | 1299 fitment

    Not sure if there is a rear ride height tool currently available for the 1299 (with -4mm fixed swingarm pivot height). If not, I hope this DIY will help 1299 owners wanting to use the CORSE DYNAMICS Panigale ride height tool. This tool, with the round delrin bushings, is manufactured for the...

    First Ride Impressions 1299 S

    Just got back from my first ride on my Panigale 1299 S and it is THE LEAST COMFORTABLE BIKE. I SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE RESEARCH. I purchased another Ducati because my 2014 Hyperstrada is so comfortable and doesn't roast my bum. I can't even tell you how upset I am with the Panigale. So...

    First "ride" and first impressions... 1199

    Hello all, I finally got a chance to take the 1199 out for a quick "ride". I picked it up from the original owner on Saturday and am still waiting on the title, so I have been unable to take it out on a long/proper ride. Needless to say, the wait is just killing me. Although the first ride...

    Morning, for those you with base models or those of you running the stock Marzocchi forks and base rear shock (in flat) what are your ride heights Front/Rear. I'm chasing a setup and would like to know what other people have dialed in in that dept. Thanks.

    Which is safer to ride as a first bike?

    So, from what I have read over years and years as a motorcycle fan, usually people when suggesting a first bike fall into 2 groups. The people that say you must start on a 250 or below etc bike that is used and blah blah blah. And then there are the people that say, get whatever bike you want...

    Can you actually ride a passenger for any length of time?

    I tried riding a couple ladies last year and it was straight up miserable like no other bike ever! Impossible really.. the bike makes the passenger basically lay on your back..you're their only support it seems. To say it was unbearable on the wrists was an understatement! Was it my...
