Personally, I wouldn't risk the haemorrhoid look

C'mon, get serious. Show us something which states you will get hp gain from heat wrapping your pipes. Delusional.

Hey, panties just gave me a great idea for you guys....

Back in the day (bear with me here) the military used to issue us with shirts made of industrial grade scotchbrite which played havoc with your nipples after you'd "walked" in them for just a few hours. The pain was unbearable, but the solution was to apply a sticking plaster to each nipple.

This gave me an idea, if your suffer so badly from the pain of the pani's saddle there's a readily available, sticky backed, ladies product that could help you out. Apply one to each buttock to achive the same effect.

Two tips though, don't let her catch you borrowing them and I wouldn't tell the lads you have them on either

Yep with you on this one, get the race seat and if that's still too hard for you, well I'm afraid it's time to face facts, that you've gone too soft and should be looking at a gold wing or something.... !

I personally like the standard seat, apart from the fact it is a bit slippery.

Planning on upgrading to Alcantara covering in the winter, as the other DP seats would be too tall for me.

duckyduc · June 4th, 2012, 05:14 AM

my cycling clothes that i like the most is Pearl Zumi, you can find them on any big cycling store, or on Amazon.
dont get me wrong, i have a 30 miles commute on my road bicycle everyday, and the rides are alot more brutal than the Ducati, to me hopping on the Ducati is a therapy time for my back and butt, i have done a few 400-500 miles trip in one day, and fine.
the reason i suggest this cycling short is to make the bike better, i have not complain about the Duc being too hard or uncomfortable
that said, cup holder is a pretty cool idea hehe

spinkick · June 4th, 2012, 05:26 AM

They give you a toaster, I dont see any reason why they would omit a cup holder from the bike.

im a road cyclist, and has always wear cycling short under my leather pants while riding motorcycle, the fabric wicks all the moisture away, and its padded with foam on the bottom, i do notice the difference in comfort when im not wearing one

Great post. Will def try this. Thanks for the tip.

I did my demo ride on the 1199 on a hot day with some traffic, the bike hit 210 degrees a couple times sitting at long red lights. No issues with heat, I could feel it was there (not as much as the 1198) but it didnt heat me up or burn as I was wearing my alpinestars full one piece leather suit. I will pretty much always wear this on the 1199 anyway, as all I will use this bike for is canyon carving and maybe a track day or two, no commuting or cruising for this baby. The bicycle shorts idea will work as far as comfort is concerned, but I doubt it would do much for the heat issue.

I agree with PaddockStand so I replaced the seat with a slab of granite and decided to ride in a euro-skivvy-thong. F* the Sachs rear unit (it broke down at the 196 mile point anyway), i made mine a rigid.

michaeldorian · June 5th, 2012, 03:02 PM

Funny. This is exactly what I did. I started wearing padded bicycle shorts. It helps with the heat and the comfort quite a bit.

Yimma · September 7th, 2012, 03:56 PM

You took my idea and stole it. Did you really come up with it or did you read it on the other forum. Not sure where I posted it

JMN6793 · September 7th, 2012, 07:26 PM

I wear cycling shorts as well, they work wonders on the panigale. In addition I wear long johns from"heat-out" and they really keep the heat out, where both make the ride more comfortable, heat from panigale is gone, and makes the overall ride more enjoyable.

WAfatboy · September 10th, 2012, 05:07 AM

Race seat or comfort seat, both are good. Swapped to the former this weekend rode over 400km and no PITA. Really impressed with the Race seat. I did like the Comfort seat too but reckon there is less wrist pressure from Race seat which is surprising. So Race seat all the way (I know I'm not the first to say so! )

duckyduc · September 10th, 2012, 07:18 AM

came back from an 13 hrs ride on sat, with the new comfort seat, no pain or soreness!!! this seat is worth every pennies!

Next there will be a complaint about there not being a cup holder.

Why the f*ck isn't there one on my Pani???? Where will I put my friggin latte?
