The 899 panigale looks almost identical to the 1199 panigale but what killed it for me was that the 899 came with a dual swing ARM instead of ducatis signature traditional single swing ARM to save cost.

Still sexy as FUCK though. Lol

Eh, I was never a fan of single sided swing arms, They're a pain to deal with.

Got my bike out yesterday to take to the track but ended up not going, Adjusted chain, lubed it, checked tire psi, bled forks, started her up and got it warmed up and rode it around the block make sure everything was working good, Than put it back in the garage. Lol. Only changes since the last time I rode was I put the stickers that came with all my parts on. Twin air sticker from twin air box cover, Wiseco sticker from my piston kit, All balls racing sticker from my wheel bearings/spacers, I also have motosport.com stickers and a amsoil sticker but didn't put those on. I'm hoping we have some more good weather weekends before winter hits. I still have to order my push button fork bleeders I been wanting. Over winter for next season I want to get a new rear tire and tube, New chain and sprockets, and than Maybe an exhaust or something to improve it. I'm running 40:1 with the amsoil dominator oil now instead of 32:1. 32:1 was just to rich and 40:1 is just right I think.



As you can see the left bottom side of the gas tank is like super faded and ugly. Anyway to fix that? My only guesses are cover it with graphics or find a new gas tank. Lol

No fucks given.
Changed the oil for the first time in over a year ( :lol: ) on Saturday, shit was black. Then hit a higher max speed on Sunday.

Still 100% stock internals/transmission and a restricted filter due to bad jetting.

They're actually not bad. Other than ducatis, they all come off like a car wheel. Ducati decided to have a different axle nut for almost every bike. And each axle tool is about $80 each. Either way its still pretty easy to change wheels, pads, etc.

Hmm, I wonder if you can still modify disc sizes and all that, Not that it's likely to need it but I added a second caliper on my cbr for a left hand rear brake lever, No real reason but I ended up getting a lot of use out of it.

Used too a little, I haven't had a bike in a while and I didn't keep my last dirtbike long, I'm soo damn rusty, Last I tried I couldn't even wheelie properly...

I think the only wrong way to wheelie is looping it. Stunting isn't really my thing, but I have a few friends who do. It takes a LOT of crashing and broken bones to be able to do what they can.
