I have been contemplating buying a Panigale...So I took a test ride today.
Keep in mind my previous bikes for reference:
06' Suzuki Hayabusa
08' Suzuki B-King
10' Suzuki Hayabusa
13' Kawasaki Zx14R (now)
First time riding a twin. I've always owned the inline 4's, and big CC ones at...
Just thought I would share my thoughts. So this weekend I decided to see what all the hype is about surrounding the bmw. I rode the 1199 for about an hour down to the dealership. By the time I got off the bike my hands were completely numb and I was sore all over (expected). I saw all the 2014...
8500 miles on ODO. Only issue was replaced Display due to brake fluid causing spots. The usual upgrades: race seat(hard but much better than stock 2012 seat.) Taller Puig screen, DP rear sets. Tasty little bits like Rizoma fluid tanks in Black and some Proti bolts.
The review: 2 years of...
I have seen this several times and keep forgetting to post it.

So I was at Rider Hill this a.m. in Dahlonega (that's in GA for all you foreigners in Cali and New York) and was in process of putting on my helmet (had stopped for some of their great blueberry pancakes they have on weekends) so I could go run up 129/Blood Mountain.
I just happened to glance...

This is my first post.
I am going to be removing my heat shield tomorrow and heat wrapping my mid pipe. I have been searching around a lot and am wondering if anyone else has done this and would like to know how they like it. More importantly I want to make sure that heat wrap alone will be...
