Panigale

Post by KungFooBob »

I think I might have to change my recommendations. It's not pretty is it?

It's a bit odd. It sort of looks like the fairing is falling off when you look at the line between that and the tank and, generally it looks a bit of a mash up. :(

With a tail tidy and Akra exhaust it’ll probably look much better.

I'm sure the exhaust is perfectly placed for mass centralisation/optimisation, but it looks proper shite. Delete that (or even just paint it black) and the bike looks 100% better.

IMHO, of course.

You will look like a right knob riding riding that slowly down the A272. Being overtaken but people like me

I wouldn't say 100% better, however, yes, it would look better.

However, it's all a bit front heavy, as in it looks like if you hit the front brakes hard, you'd be spat over the handlebars. I'm sure you wouldn't, but it looks like you would.

Watched the 44 Teeth video on it on Friday. Sounds like Ducati are saying it's function over form and the new bike is a lot quicker. How that relates to me I've no idea, but then I'll never have, or want a Panigale

Makes me miss my Panigale, I could seen me getting a V4S in the future, not this one but the last one.

Never fear, for a mere £7,776.00 you can upgrade to the much more aesthetically pleasing full Akrapovic titanium exhaust system...

I got pulled up for that recently, never realised it bothered people before. I always turn them to the right when I'm getting off & they stay that way.
