Was thinking about the Superbike 1299 Panigale S but I may not need that much power under me so maybe the 959 Panigale will be the perfect step down from that.

Yea that is what I thought as well. The 1299 is fun but is it even more fun than the 959 Panigale? I think the 959 will be enough. In fact, the 1299 might be too much power for me.

I'm in the same boat, had a chance to see both the 1199 and 1299 at a show after binge watching video's on them, but with be sticking to local streets and highways for all of my riding... even my CBR600 was good enough but I feel the 959 will give that extra I wanted without going crazy overboard.

The 959 Panigale may be perfect for those middle of nowhere highway drives but unless I plan to go on track a lot and race other super bikes I don't see a point in getting a 1199 or 1299.

Even if you're in the city it can be worth it, just for those moments when you'll have free stretches of road to let loose on, even during rush hour commutes you can come across those, but I try to go off peak.

Cause even if you want to go that fast, its illegal to do so in most cases. What's the point of having that power if you are not actually going to be able to use it?

 

[moto]

Yup. Speeding tickets are a pain on the insurance if you get caught. Not worth the risk to go full throttle on open roads with that much power.

hey welcome to the boards... even if you get the 'little' panigale it's still a Litre bike LOL...

Yeah and that's a big deal. Even just riding around your typical city a liter panigale isn't common at all, even liters in general!

Hi all, recently sold my 848 Evo and hoping for either an 899 Evo or 959S model at EICMA this year!

Not holding my breath though...

Good call on selling your 848, prices on those will drop down a good amount once the 959 comes to market, however a good time for those that wanted an 848 to get one! Been telling one of my buddies new to Ducati to do just that.
