  1. I'd love to see someone core this exhaust... lol
     
  2. Thing is I am an internationally recognised arbiter of good taste and you are someone who watches women’s cricket.

  3. One time! One! Jeez. Will I never live this (and the many other inumerate crimes against fashion, taste and entire swathes of humanity) down?

  11. On track views

  12. I will be waiting for the R. When you weigh it up, the Speciale is just an S with nice paint, a couple other touches like the seat and the exhaust system....... you don't even get the wheels unless you pony up.

    The coming R will have differences that you can't just get off of the shelf or DP parts catalogue. It's where my money will be going
     
  13. Since I cant run to an R or a Speciale, my money is on an S with the same performance advantages of the Speciale and a few other mods, thrown in. Hopefully as much bang but for less buck.
     
  14. Some side views.

  16. All this effort to make the bike more appealing. Who are you trying to convince or just yourself?!

    But I do like the anniversario render personally, that would sell me but as I have said, I will be waiting for the R
     
  17. Not my work Mutt. Just lifted these images from the US forum (apart from the 1299SL style scheme, all the work of F3BobaFett) Only posted them up to give people an idea, should they be considering paintwork (for trackday bodywork or maybe a road bike). I quite like to see different interpretations but no one design will be enough to sway my decision. That rests on what I think of it come the weekend.
     
  18. Im right behind you Sir R all the way

  19. Will the R have same fairing with snail trails fairing to tank? For racing they might homogenise a different style for easier removal and aerodynamics.
    Just a thought.......
     
  20. Okay, so there has been a lot of conjecture and assumption talked about the forthcoming Panigale V4R that will homologate the V4 for WSBK but what are people expecting that is going to be different to the V4S ?
    I'll start :
    lighter crank
    titanium con rods and valves
    higher revs, 15000rpm ?
    as electronic suspension, traction and slide control are banded for racing you could see a step back from the V4S electronics spec although I don't expect the race spec Ohlins at the £35k price point
    not sure about gear ratios. If the V4R is expected to be an off the shelf customer race bike, you could find the ratios unsuited to road riding
    I don't expect to see copious amounts of carbon
    I don't expect there to be limited numbers either especially if it is an off the shelf customer race bike like the 959 Tri Option cup bikes
