Ive just ordered the base model without the abs but with DDS. This bike will be used as a dedicated track/race bike. So taking that into account I shall be selling off all the road items such as:

Lights
Mirrors and indicators
Fairings
Brake lines
Rear shock

All items will be removed before the bike even turns a wheel on the tarmac.

Sorry my first post is trying to sell stuff.

Im trying to order an 1199S at the moment but my usual dealer has sold their allocated number and Im not convinced that the other dealers I have spoken to aren't just going to take an order which will mean July or later delivery date.
Anyone know if there are any dealers who havent sold their allocation of S's ?

You could try Parkinsons in Colchester.

I'm fairly sure they have a base model available in May, so they may have an S

To Panigale or not to Panigale....

So I took the test ride. Being already in lurve with my 998R, I find I take test rides and then get back on the 998 and feel that the bike tested doesn't come close .

Oh dear, after riding the Panigale I find myself obsessing over how beautiful (in the eye of the beholder I know), how fantastic the engine is, what great handling etc... Worse the dealer gave me one of those hardback book brochures which now is my preferred bedtime reading.

Problem is, I'm not going to sell the R and I am shortly about to be overcome by the impulse to order the Panigale (affordability/recession/ blah bah).

Not only that, but in my mind's eye it already has a set of termis and carbon flummery.

I am consulting my life coach, psychiatrist, marriage counsellor.....

commiserations/encouragement invited.
