That was awesome!!
If you love your bike, set it free.
If it comes back to you, you've
probably high-sided.

Just took the PJ's loaner Panigale for  a test ride up the crest. Very sweet machine! My Supersport is a hammer, the Panigale is a surgical instrument.

It felt very planted the whole ride, even when the rear broke loose a bit rolling out of a corner (I think the traction control took over), the suspension, the power, and handling are phenomenal, the engine is fairly flat until the upper RPM range - a little bit of studdering at 5-6K, and the seat gets hot.  The bike feels smaller than the SS and has a shorter reach to the grips, wind protection is less than the SS, but smoother with absolutely no buffeting. The digital readout is easy to read.

Overall a very easy bike to ride.

'99 900ss
'03 ST4s
'09 XL1200

I know someone (local to the board here and NOT me) who uttered the following phrase today:

"Get me a price on (misc. aftermarket Panigale equipment) with a base-model, and I'll take it."

;D

He was.....but then he thought about it and came up with a better plan.  Only 525 break-in miles to go!
Never appeal to a man's "better nature."  He may not have one.  Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage.  R.A. Heinlein
