Hey guys, i have a Panigale 1299S. When i listen the sound of elder Ducatis, like 998 or ST4 and compare with the Pani, i recognize a difference in the sound. Their crankshaft had a longer stroke, wich caused a deeper sound, with a lower frequency. I thougt if lowering the idle speed...

Calling all motorcyclists! World of Speed USA is hosting a special Cars, Coffee & MOTORCYCLES event this Saturday 8am - 11am in the World of Speed parking lot! Start off the weekend right with fellow Portland NW riders, and of course, cars & coffee and bikes! Saturday, September 12at...

You know... Now that I have had my 1199 Pani for 5 months. I have read lots of issues others have posted. I have been lucky enough not to really have experienced any of them. I love this bike thus far. Even the heat isn't really an issue for me unless I get stuck in bumper to bumper...

So I'm at the end of my break in period. I've done most of the break in exclusively on back roads so very little highway riding. Today was the first day I did any extended highway riding at speed. The rear feels like its sliding around, even when riding in a straight line. The bike overall...

Just a friendly competition: Who can most accurately guess what the respective top speeds of the 2015 1199R and the 1299 Will be? I will start. 1199R = 196 mph 1299 = 187 mph.

Not sure if people know about this show...But I saw it the other night and they built an absolutely stunning looking 900SS using lots of upgrades... Bike came in at $165000 ..... Parts alone...

If you are in South Florida on Jan. 29th then you are invited to join us for the Premier of Naked Speed. By the way, we will have mid. 70's here with sunny skies in January:)

Anyone else had or have this issue. The bike had a front end bump a few months ago, its not been ridden since but I really cant see any physical defects with either front or rear sensor or wires. I'm kind of hoping that a decent run will recalibrate it. Does anyone know if the speedo pick up...

I was looking to put some Ti bolts on the front discs. Someone told as they are not magnetic (no iron in Ti) that it may affect the front sensor wheel. Has anyone experienced this. Not really looking for guesses, prefer someone that has actually changed to Ti and whether they found any...

I am looking to change the gearing on my Panigale to get a bit more out of the top end. I am not entirely pleased with it as my 1198's top speed is quite a bit faster. I would like to keep the grunt down low and also gain some up top. Any suggestions? I do not need any wise remarks as I am not...

I'm considering selling my 11' Speedie for a Diavel. Wondering if the diavel will meet the fun factor of the S3. Will I miss the nimble agility of the hooligan Speedie? I'm just looking to get a fun bike that is a little more tour able. I'm not ready for a multi or a diavel strada. Thanks!

Brothers addicted to speed. At any price. Motorcycle road racing is the most dangerous of all motor sports. One in which men compete at speeds of up to 200 miles per hour on closed country roads. Roads that are lined with trees, telegraph posts, stone walls. Ireland and the Isle of Man are two...

Which jacket do you guys prefer for protection and airflow? Dainese Super Speed Tex Rev'It! Tornado I'm considering both, but am having trouble deciding. I already have a Wave G2 back protector, so maybe the Dainese is the way to go. However, it would be nice to have some CE Level 2...

Is there a way to make the 1199 smoother at low speeds? Does changing the sprocket help with the power curve? I ride around town most of the time and am looking for solutions

I've purchased some stainless steel brake disc mounting bolts to replace the OEM items. One thing that concerns me is if this will affect the front and rear wheel hall effect speed sensors, since on previous Ducatis I have owned, these sensors used the disc bolts to trigger the signal and...

Anyone had their R topped out with OEM gearing. Is it rev limited at 186mph (300km/h) or does the screen go blank and it keeps on pulling? A few at COTA claimed just over 200mph (322km/h) calculated with screen blank.

Got the 41T rear sprocket for a 2012 Base Panigale. Noticed my speed is higher on the dash then actual. Is this normal, should ECU automatically compensate for 41T sprocket change? Thanks

I can't help but notice both on the street and track I have higher corner entry speeds on right-hand corners vs left-hand corners. I believe it could be a result of several factors in no particular order. Interested in feedback not related to the ....... ............. POS BMW HP4... 1...

How'd I miss this? My cable company told me Fox/speed is now Fox Sports 1 with all kinds of sports coverage, Speed is gone. Unfortunately my provider doesn't carry speed 2

So what did I do in VA with Gunny, Flobrandx, and Shawn? We worked on the Panis of course. I wanted to put in a radar detector and a stem mount and engine ice. Gunny wanted test his go pro and do some other work. i decided i dont need a mount and didnt attempt the radar. It was raining on...
