Hello from Boston

So I took delivery of my AWS 959 Panigale about two weeks ago. I'm nothing short of amazed. This bike is truly something else. I am coming off a 2014 CBR 650f and this is a completely different animal. I am really surprised at how smooth and refined the power delivery of the 959 is. The last Ducati I rode was a 2008 1098 and that thing was an absolute brute. I am up here in Boston where the roads are littered with potholes and it is still pretty cold. I took the dealers advice and left the shop with it in wet mode. That only lasted about 100 miles before I flipped it to sport and have been grinning ever since. I also like riding with a passenger. I know I bought a race bike but I commute daily and enjoy taking the ride out for a ride on weekends. Last Sunday she jumped on and we did a 50 mile trip. I was Amazed at how easy it tracked with her on the back and she reported only slightly a bit less comfortable than the last bike. I should say we are both in pretty decent shape so that does help out. But moral of the story is I couldn't be happier with this bike. I will try and upload a pic of the bike later.

Here is a pic of my Duc with the NRC FEK installed. I agree with some on the forum that the install was a PIA. The torx bolt definitely could have been an extra half inch. I also installed with the PAX pegs on and found accessing the allen bolts a huge pain. Had to remove the rear mud guard and bend the plate bracket to get to the bolts. But i think it came out pretty good in the end.
