was reading up on the sister site about the Panigale........it would appear you are not going to get many trackdays on one as it is failing noise tests by some way Thinking of taking your Panigale out on Track ?
Interesting read, makes you wonder, there are so many bikes now that wont make noise test limits even with OE cans, shame a race track has to have quite race bikes on it in order to keep a few people who bought near a bloody race track quite !!!! But I dont think it would put me off getting one for the road like suggested in the thread, there are always euro days to go on
A baffle that only takes 2 decibels is pretty crap though. A good one will get at least 5, but even then, at 109dB, you're restricted to 'loud' 105dB days. It's the way it is though now, and Oulton is amongst the strictest.
Its just total madness. too loud for a "race track" but legal to ride on the queens highways. we are governed by complete idiots
please have a look and see if you still want one https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.362446377124877.75234.122070967829087&type=3 How to Dismantle a Ducati 1199 Panigale in Seconds | Ducati News Today
This is one trashed 1199 Panigale - Snippets - Visordown Yeah.. this is how we do it in SA. No one explained Panigale "launch" to us..
I said this from the start, I wonder how well the mono frameless design will crash! Nogg who helps Rapido in BSB said they crash well! Really Nogg Really?
There's government training coming to the surface there. That 1199 is a bit of a shock though. Abv had to hit his 'Blade with an entire autobahn to make it look like that.
Ha ha, was having this discussion on twatter shortly before release, one good smack on the shock mount area and its a Right off. Let's then remember the 5 engines the BSB boys have been through, the 2 SA panigale motors and the euro stocks Lads that have popped 9 already.
Dont know of any Rapido motors or JHP motors going pop but then they would'nt say anyway mate, do you have any other details on them, whos bikes etc? I like a little wind up with some mates who have them on order....lol
Mate, moto rapido had one go bang big time after 3 laps at the brands pre season test, both TT21 & polita have had one go bang and 2 others (sstk). They should have saved there money and built themselves a full fat 916 with 1198 motor.
