...it also wins slow races. Lol, just wanted to say I represented Ducati and took the 1199 to a bike night and won the slow drag races and got myself a $100 MRA SuperStreet Entry Cert. Looks like my August race is paid for, what what! |

Yeah, a yellow one. Beat him too! There was a set distance, you had 5 runs. Stalls or foot down DQ'd the run.

haha, cool! i realized that on some stops you can really go slow and then sit for a while before putting the foot down. hint for your next race: rev the motor higher, the rotating masses stabilize the bike, and just let it roll a little bit with the clutch.!!! awesome, still smiling... |

also use the rear brake gently, i find it stabilizes the bike more at the slow speed stuff.

I've noticed how incredibly balanced and easy to ride the Panigale at incredibly low speeds. Several times I've been able to balance at a standstill for several seconds at lights. Going slow takes a lot more skill than just blasting away at full throttle, too! |
