Was looking for an 848 on Ebay and found this instead. The deal was too good to pass up.

Reminds me of an old girlfriend....pretty but painful.

Congrats.

I hope the twisties are close by.

What year and how many miles were on it?

lather · « **Reply #11 on:** January 11, 2014, 07:29:02 PM »

Its an 07 with only 6800 miles. And the twisties start 300 yards from
my driveway.

Why would you roll your eyes, do the roads have to be twisty or do you have to do track days to enjoy a race bike?

I haven't heard one yet. But my 1098 has a full Termigione and when I hear it I have a hard time controling my right wrist...

There is a guy I know who has one, and his nickname is "turn-one" because after that, you may not see him again till the end of race. The stock race exhaust for the Panigale is already intense, I cannot imagine an aftermarket that would sound any better or make much better music. Other than the sound of the V4, a race twin is just plain sexy.

Yes. Race replicas are very uncomfortable for most people if you are not actively riding them.

I guess some people buy them to just show them off on forums, but obviously lather bought it to enjoy the twisties. I couldn't tell his location from his post, so I was wondering if he lived in IL or FL where curves are few and far between and twisties are non-existant. LOL!
