base model goes pop

Uk bike magazine had a 1600 mike demo bike throw something solid through the crankcase and sieze the bike. Bike returned to DUK for investigation

I wonder if they forgot to do the first service and it burned up all the oil?

Or rode a 3-mile long wheelie taking pictures for the cover of a magazine and starved the crank of oil........

Isn't bike magazine known for destroying demo bikes?

Yes read that issue of BIKE magazine. Scared me...though it was a base model...it still should have not happened!!! Wonder what caused it?Something punched a hole out through the lower crankcase. Photo shows 1199 panigale on top of a pool of oil...

Darn...I hope its an Isolated case!
