I was looking at the new colours Z900RS yesterday, it looks a lot better in 2022 colours.
And please could KFB promise not to post pictures of himself, it's not nice.

Are the front and back meant to be different colours?

Just the lighting/camera, no issues on colour

I sat on one, do they make them any bigger?
They're not massive no. But they don't ride like they're cramped.

Cramped... I sat on the R7 after that. Jesus that thing would cripple me.
I compare everything to my GSXR1100.
The R7 was more cramped than the GSXR. The Panigale was less cramped, which means it must use some kind of magic.

That's a shame as I really fancy one for the wife as you've seen.

I love the idea of the R7. All the reviews say it's roomy (for a sporty bike), but it isn't.
I was shocked by the V4, all the other Ducati Superbikes I've ridden have been crippling on the wrists, the bars felt higher than on the R7.
Buy her a Panigale.
Sorry Cheesy....

I ain't buying her anything, I bought all her others, the next one she buys herself. I'm funding a race career

I'm a maverick so am gonna buck the trend and fit the tail-tidy to my 890 this week-end , but it may well be coming straight off again depending on how I think this particular one looks, we'll see...
- If I do, I'll do before and after pics and post them up so I can put it to the vote as well ( and probably take no notice of the consensus
)

I'm not planning on mine EVER getting one of those if i can help it.
Must admit i really fancy even just 5-10 miles at the moment, but the roads are just awful out there.

See this is where my issues are.... I can clean a bike, as well as anyone, better than most... but there's still little bits you can't quite get to and once they're messy, they're never getting back from it..
It's something that i only get bothered about with motorbikes though, my MTBs are filthy all the time.

I used to get around that by running a bike I didn't care about cosmetically. I've had many Winter bikes over the years,the SH300 was the last one. ACF it in October and wash it in the Spring.
It lets you scratch that itch and not mess up your 'proper' bike.

You'd probably end up with an immaculate shitter.
