Indeed, apart from huge exhaust and stupid wing things, but it is on my list of bikes to think about after my R1 looses it's appeal
I got sent a email from norton way motorcycles with this on. I like the wings but really hate the exhaust other than that I think it’s stunning in that colour but 215bhp
Agree, Bazz. The colour combo is truly stunning. Wings are neither here nor there for me, but they are discrete and the untrained observer would probably think if them as air vents. No doubt there will come a range of aftermarket exhausts for those who want a better look. But I think I will wait until @PauloHRC buys his 2020 in about May and then see what he puts on his! Woops, I forgot. He'll be on the R1M in May.
215 bhp. No ones had one on a dyno yet, call me syndical but I think there may be some disappointment.
You may be correct, but by the same token, I am damn sure Honda will have print outs ready to back their claims. Anyway, I won't grumble over a discrepancy of a couple of bhp. Any more though, and you'll be reading about it in my rant thread!!
The only 2020 bike you'll see me on is a standard R1 or a Panigale V2......and at less than 15k the Ducati is ticking all the right boxes. I mean just look at it......even the word 'Panigale' is beautiful
Exhaust is a lot better than some of the other OEM efforts - look at the GSXR for example. That’s got a dustbin attached to the swing arm.
Bloody hell, Paulo. If the choice of words that sound beautiful become a criteria for buying bikes, let's just hope the theme does not spread to other 'selections'. I mean, the word 'Donatella Versace' sounds beautiful and simply rolls off the tongue, but there's no way known I would be lining up for her:
