Only Nimbus mate. That's one nice bike you have there - 11 or 1299? I have a 09 R1 at the moment but looking to upgrade.

Very nice. Panigale in my eyes the best looking and sounding sportsbike out there with the new R1 a close 2nd. I take it you do the odd track day then? I'm looking S1000RR or new shape R1 for next year. Tried a 899 Panigale but just couldn't gel with it after a test ride and a few goes of my mates one. I've never rode the bigger brother though, seems the new V4 is a great road/track bike package.

Believe it or not that bike hasn't moved since it's been mostly complete.
I have a 1000xr aswell that I mostly ride.if that's anything to go by the 1000rr should be incredible.the r1 was incredible too.crazy crazy engine.electronics amazing and handling too.
But brakes are very weak.
No feel or power.

Iv had a few bikes over the years but always seem to come back to the dukes lol.the r1 was the fastest though.
