Thanks Ben; great reading so many positives for a first ride out. It sounds like this bike has everything and more to satisfy the purist. I can agree about the lack of emotion in the S1000RR, it's just so clinical but does everything it says on the tin. I have had mine for 24 months and don't really look forward to riding it anymore.

Would love to read more as you get the opportunity to get out. I'd also be interested in the Termig slip ons when you one to the full race system

Thanks again!

Im hoping to get out this weekend when I get home - I'll post more impressions then.
I'll let you know about the Termis' should be available first week of July.

Thanks Ben

Interested to read your report.

After much indecision about whether to go for the RSV4 or the Panigale, I have just ordered a Panigale S plus full Termi system.

I had two longish test rides on the Panigale and was really impressed although I was torn as the RSV4 was really impressive. However, scare stories of unreliability got to me. As did breaking a history of sustained Ducati ownership.

Seemingly, I should be in receipt of the bike next week - so will give reports as I get used to it!

Hey Ben,

hope all is well mate. Nice bike choice - work must be good !

I hadn't connected your id with your old one of ben998, until now
It looks like you didn't remain without a bike for too long either, after selling me your 998.

Would be good to catch up mate.
Cheers,
John W. (996 and 998 both sold some time back, got an R1 and 1200 Multistrada now)
