I didn't test ride mine either, for the same reasons, however I had test ridden the demo bike with the dealer. I was watching the TMF review of the V4S this morning. I would definitely buy one, one day.. I think insurance is the biggest hurdle for me though at the moment.
Thanks Brad, I won't be going anywhere! Admittedly I have joined the Ducati forum and its very similar to here so nice and easy to navigate. I dont know anything about Ducatis other than they're red and Italian so I need that knowledge from those guys! But this place is more than a forum.....its a community and its great being a part of it!!!
Ah The Missenden Flyer......yes I quite like his reviews of the bike. More everyday living with the bike rather than performance related but he gets the message across well doesn't he! I like it when he gets his sheet of A4 out at the end with the list of good and bad points!!!
Bet you can’t wait to get her delivered Paul, beautiful bike and much better than settling for the poor mans V4 (V2)
Italian Beauty you got there Paul, Love the look of all the Pani's Looking forward to your review. Congrats.
Looks great mate, congrats!! I bet you get the hair dryer out though ... Shame you let both bikes go, but I very much doubt you'll be disappointed
I own a Panigale 1199 and have been toying with the idea of trading it in on a used V4 once all the PCP deals come to an end. I've been told it's a missle.
Went round Europe 3 times on my 1299 went wrong on everytrip.... Good Luck with it Paulo, I just had a bad one, best bike I've ever had the privilege to ride, the only bike I regretted selling. I'd buy it back tomorrow if I could find it !
Did you sell your Blade SP privately Paulo? What year was it and what mileage did it have? Congrats on the new bike by the way, lovely!
Hi, no I traded it in and got £11600, not bad considering average price is around the 12k mark. It is mint low mileage though, 2018, just short of 2k miles i think
Ooohhh big day tomorrow......my two bikes are all prepped and put back to standard. In my eyes probably the two best trade in's they'll get this year but I'm obviously biased. Looking forward to having a bit more space in the garage but will be a little sad to see them loaded up into a van......but a Panigale v4 sat in the garage upon their departure will make up for it i think! Tomorrow will be spent staring, stroking, touching, caressing and whatever else comes naturally when you have a thing of beauty in front of you
214HP Jet Ski!! Now you're talking .... Well enjoy the staring, touching and caressing tomorrow dude! hopefully You can get out on it soon!
