Jumping the queue

ihunui · July 25th, 2012, 06:28 PM

I am one lucky b.....d! Got a call late last week from northside to say a tricolore order had been cancelled so I am now the proud member of club panigale one month ahead of schedule!

First impressions after 50 k's: this thing it totally worth the wait. I loved my 1098s - but this goes and stops better, and it turns incredibly - especially on a change of direction. In corners where I had to firmly encourage the 1098s to turn the panigale just does it without thinking

Next thing - finish my coffee at road warriors - then 2 laps of the old road!

In traffic the heat is certainly there, but in my opinion no worse than the 1098s. Possibly even a bit better than the 1198.

My 1098 is cool. The 749 of a few years ago was dreadful.

Does the 1199 have reasonable power at low revs? i am yet to ride one.

Great to hear ihunui! I picked mine up last Friday and have done only 60kms due to incessant rain, bright side it's in my garage!

Safe riding mate

Wellington in winter aye, at least you're not a surfer, then you'd have to be out in Lyall Bay in a drysuit to get your kicks!
Rimutakas on a superbike would be gold if you got a clear run ...
