Hi everyone,
I just purchased my first new motorcycle ever after a 4 year hiatus from riding street. I previously owned a 2007 CBR600RR (great bike). I got the bike last week with 2 miles on her and couldn't be more happy. It was a tough decision between the 959, a used 899, a S1000RR and a new R1. I eliminated the R1 fairly quickly because I couldn't find a dealer who allowed test rides. I really liked the S1000RR but the Panigales won me over with their style, sound, and exclusivity. I chose the Arctic Silk White and stare at the bike everyday I walk in my garage. I look forward to taking it to the track next year if I have the time and tinkering with the bike a bit. My mostly aesthetic mods I have planed so far include:
Throttle Lock/Traction control (my right hand gets numb on longer rides)
Tank guard
Comfort seat
Tinted windscreen
Frame sliders
Solo Cowl
Throttle Spacer kit
