MC Guys, thought on current Panigale??

Curious on your thought on the current Panigale or Panigale Corse? May be putting one in the garage soon...

Cheers

This is with the V4, right? I'll call a buddy tomorrow, which should have had his arrive last month.

Edit: it's arriving in 2 weeks. But he's pretty excited, as it's replacing a 1299 Panigale, which in turn replaced an 1199.

The break in period on these bikes is a huge pain. I wouldn't want a fellow Pelican to have to suffer through such a laborious process. Ship the bike to me, I will put the first 1000 miles on the clock, then drop it off to you, ready to ride in earnest. You're welcome.

I have only about 15 minutes of track time on a 899. It was spectacular for a very stock bike.
Meaning easy to ride fast, like a 140 HP SV650. Friends who are actively racing the 1199 and some with 1299 are doing very well with them. The 11s are supposedly a bit more difficult to ride. ( peaky -ish power delivery ) .
I know Indy Ducati has had a V4 at the track a few times and all reports are that it is much easier to ride fast than the twins.

I am considering the 959 Twin, the V4 is a bit out
of my budget.
