Bloody hell, to put out 180bhp, you have to be doing around 1,000RPM more on the 1199 - you really do start to decrease your useable rev range when you have to keep the revs so high

DaytonaAndy is by no means the only 675'er who has been coaxed away by a sexy little Paningirly, there have been at least half a dozen who have.
"Burndownthedisco" had one that must have been genetically linked to the car from the film Christine, and one of the most recent defectors "Red675" has just posted this up.: https://www.675.cc/675/threads/mcn-talk ... ost-434773" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; :S

Fitted the Ohlins and set up the sag.

Looking forward to a test ride to set up the damping, although dialled in a good base setting so have a reference point to start from.

I can pick the 1299 up on Saturday and do a "living with a 1299 Panigale for day to day commuting" diary for a week if you like?

That's an old bike. It's not the same.

Plus I'm not so much as an attention seeking whore as that bloke is.
