HI, apart from electronic ohlins on a 1299s, what other extra,s are on a 1299s compaired to the 1299. i am planning a panigale and hoping its going to be a bit more rider friendly/comfortable than my 1098s. not that its a bad bike, its just that i am not getting any younger.
I bought the s model because I wanted the extra bling. However I doubt i notice any of the differences on the road compared to base model. I think that despite the lighter wheels the suspension is heavier on the S model and both bikes weigh the same.?.
The suspension is worth it, especially on the road. On trackdays I always had it set pretty much at it's max, I'm not that fast or heavy, quicker/ better riders may find it a bit limiting I would have thought. Also they are gold colour, so why wouldn't you want that?
There is not much in it really. The 1299 is not for everyone for sure. Akras I would defo have. You can’t beat the v twin engine feed back it’s something else.ive mod mine out but the looks aren’t for everyone
Here’s the list of differences between cooking model and S model: Electronic Ohlins forks & rear shock Ohlins steering damper Carbon fibre front mudguard LED headlight Aux buttons for controlling electronics Marchesini forged wheels
Holy mother of god where did that screen come from? You’re right though it’s your bike do whatever you like to it. Nice clear clutch cover too!
Not really, you were hoping there is damper on the base model. I'm saying I believe there is, but I don't think the damper on the base is electronic or made by Ohlins.
