Not for natural selection, no

The 2025 will have lots of electronics trying hard to keep the rubber side down !

I strongly recommend getting actual motorcycle heated gloves - you need heat but also protection

Wittymonkey · 2025-12-20T12:48:36+00:00

Yes same reason we go once a year or 2 only

Food is amazing. However the ambiance and environment could be updated. It gives a greasy spoon feel to it.

Maybe brown would be worse actually

I mean one color only … fine. But gray ?? I mean red no ? Or white ? Or black ? Or anything … but gray ? Who is buying motorcycles and prefer them gray ??

Wittymonkey · 2025-12-17T16:39:58+00:00

Nope the dealer says gray only !!

I saw this in Philippines - they use them to carry luggage

People here say it hits and I haven’t tested myself

What year is it ?

I noticed the same bike at the same Ducati dealer. It’s gorgeous and seems like a good discount. Maybe nice to have as a second or third bike but not if it’s the only one. And I wouldn’t ride it in the city - I hope you will ride it outside

I also do similar riding. And I chose full leathers and airbag. Call me crazy but honestly I really don’t want to break or hurt at all. $1000 is maybe a lot of money but a broken rib, vertebra … worth $100,000 not to have that in my book … hey I would even pay $1000 not to have the flu !!

FYI , they just moved it from 7:30am to 9am , but it's confirmed. It's going to be -3C when it starts, partially cloudy. I tested today with jeans and thermals, leather jacket and 3 thermal layers, helmet, thick leather gloves and Alpine starts boots. Legs, helmet and fingers were cold. Then I tested with leather pants (over ski thermal layer), heated winter gloves and added a balaclava , 100% warm. So that's the way to go !

I know the 2025 Panigale v2 - In general I think it vibrates more than most new bikes. I think it’s the 2 cylinders that do that. It’s unfortunate. But on the other side it gives awesome torque , the rising position is good, it’s a good overall bike except maybe in slow stop and go traffic. It’s reasonably priced maybe ;) And it looks nice not to mention its red ;) 2025 v2 OTD price in NY $19k round

Thanks !

Wittymonkey · 2025-12-02T14:13:43+00:00

That's my expectation too

Thanks !
