I like that paint job

Still too much black plastic though. It needs carbon.

Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

That looks about as nice as a bike can get..

I love that front-to-rear red/white 'split'.

They are insanely quick aren’t they?

Did it make the 1299 feel slower than it used to?

No not really. The engine in the 1299 is harder hitting in the middle but the v4 top end is brutal.

Overall the v4 is quicker not because of the engine but the whole package as it makes going quicker easier, so much easier. The 1299 is quick but also quite physical to ride.

Overall I would say the v4 is a 1299 turned up 20% everywhere.

Better electronics, better chassis, better engine, better brakes just better every where. It's the first bike I've ridden with no weakness and no where you could attempt to improve or modify and I love tinkering and upgrading.

I can't imagine a bike being better. It's almost too good and inspires so much confidence it easily gets you in trouble. A better name for it would be the Panigale ASBO (lol)

My day is very boring compared to riding an Italian missile. Trying to find decent car parts at a good price and sort the insurance on my dads (which is still in bits at a garage).

Might take the bike out later if it stops drizzling.

Just been reading a review. That bike with the full akra system and upmap makes 226bhp (rock)

No wonder I didn't want to give it back.

Did 241 miles on the test ride and 3 tanks of fuel with last 10 miles on the fuel light (giggle)

This evening I'm sat out in the dark drinking cider and wine while the boy gets to sleep.

As one of my favorite pastimes is sitting watching the world go by, this is awesome... Anyway, I need another glass of wine..

Wishing we hadn't drunk so much last night.

Proseco is way to easy to drink, It's like necking pop, add a hot tub and my mental wife and carnage is always going to occur .

I've also no idea why I woke up in bed with barbecue tongs (wasntme)

What ever went on I cant remember, but I'm not in trouble so must have been a good night and I'll take that (y)
