Getting ready for my first track day... I already have mirror blanks on the way, will disconnect & tape the lights. Where does one go to get number decals? Is there anything for our specific bikes? My n00b track skills should provide ample entertainment; I don't need janky crooked...

Well yesterday i saw the v4 up close and personal. The rider if you are on here thanks for the sandwhich saved me for sure. Anyway the bike in person to me is very impressive. As i spoke to the owner he let me know about how good the electronic package is and how the bike is amazing for the...

New to this forum. I finally decided to purchase a Ducati. My childhood dream since I first saw the PASO bad in the mid eighties!!! My V4S should be ready for pickup this Friday (fingers crossed). Has anyone taken their V4S to the track yet? Do you have any suggested baseline suspension...

I'm converting my Pearl-White 1199 to track only use. I've got a set of Armor Bodies fairings fitted. Next step get them painted. Does anybody have experience with the ColorRite paints? They show a base(1629) and Top Coat(7629) for a 2013 White 1199. I'm going to take the fairings to...

Hello all, I have been very fortunate to be able to afford such a wonderful bike with my current '12 1199. But I do need some advice from more experienced and seasonal riders for my next big learning experience, which would be to take a motorcycle to a track day. A bit of background, I have...

Anybody using Metzeler K1 or K2's in lieu of SC's??

I am currently in the process of turning my 1199 S into a track only bike. I was wonder what are some good companys that have good quality race fairings. I was looking at some and you would need to change the windscreen from what i saw. I would like to keep the same windscreen if possible. Also...

Hi there! I'll be doing my first track day in a couple weeks and was wondering if anybody has a template for the headlights and brake lights on the 1199? I work as a graphic designer for a print shop and would love to have some custom colored vinyl cutouts to shape instead of masking tape...

I know there are only a few of us that solely use our bikes only as track or race bikes, but for those of us that do, wouldn't it be nice to have a bike straight from the factory that is already completely set up as such. I'm not talking about something like the HP4 Race that SBK spec, but...

Hi Guys, I am turning my 2015 Panigale R into a track bike. I will go for a set of full carbon track fairings and in that connection I was hoping that some of you may have some recommendation on which brands to look at. I am thinking the following: - Full carbon - Attachment with few...

Here is the situation. A track coach told me im at the limit of my 600. not because i am great (although i am great) but physically i am too big for the 600 now. i was told the only real way to get faster is to get suspension work done to my 07 ninja. here is the situation im 5 11 225 and...

Hey gents, I'm getting into track riding next season and looking for some advice on what things I should be investing in between personal protection and bike prep. I've done a few days in the past but planning on going to California Superbike school and looking for some insight on what I...

Who of you taking new v4 on track bike only in 2018?

So it's time for a new set of chain and sprockets. The big question is, do I stick with the stock gearing of my 1199 or go to the R gearing of 15/41? I ride the two track here in Michigan (Gingerman and Grattan) but am hoping to hit up some new tracks this coming season. This past year was first...

This will be my last track excursion for the year, anyone else going too?

Hi all, Forgive me if this has been discussed here before, but I'm keen to gauge opinion from other people's experience. I've had my 1299S over 2 yrs from new. Weekend blasts on the road only. I've starting doing some track work on hire bikes (stock 959 and stock R1M, full rider aids on...

First track day on my 1299 tomorrow, 6 x 20min sessions, just wondering whether I should replace the oil and filter after or wait for the scheduled service? TIA Phil Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Heads Up Forum Peeps! Some of you may remember back a few years ago when we ran a special "Superbike Track Bike Package" on 899 Panigales? Well, the program is coming back again, with the 959 Track Bike Package! So how it works is you get a NEW 959 Panigale, set up to your spec for a track...

I have a track day pass available with TrackTime on September 4 (Labor Day) at The Ridge Motorsports Park. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it out there anymore this year. It's a full day pass with half day 1v1 instruction and classroom sessions with Ken Hill in 300 lvl. If you have...
