  1. Advice appreciated.
    As I approach the 3-score-years-and-10, I’m riding a 2018 Supersport. As a probable last step in my bike ownership, if I fancy a change, should I go for:
    1199R
    1299S
    1299 base
    1299FE
    Or stick with what I’ve got?
     
  2. Push the boat out.......1299FE :upyeah:
     
  3. Best Scrap Around?

  6. FS1E?

  7. Saw one on eBay for £5K!!! What’s the world coming to?
     
  8. Panigale R (not 1199R). Or if you want the best v twin produced outside a superleggerra probably the 1299FE

  9. Can’t afford the Superleggera
     
  10. Rather fancy the FE as it might hold onto its value if I pass it on to my daughter/granddaughter. Feeling that a base 1299 might not...
     
  11. A Panigale? Or a FS1E?
     
  12. FS1E
     
  13. What Bradders said. Pani R. So much better than the bloated (by comparison) 1299FE.
    And will hold value better.

  14. Both the bikes I mentioned are the poor mans version of the SL1 (R) and SL2 (FE) :upyeah:
     
  15. And I am correct in thinking the Panigale R is the post-2015 1299R which has the 1199cc engine? And just has “Panigale R” rather than “1199 R” decals?
     
  16. Diavel 1260S

  17. Forget all them Novice bikes mate.... Just get an early V4 and be done with it:innocent:

    joking aside.... Your listing a few bikes from a very varied price point!

    So my question would be how much do you want to spend?

  19. I can’t take it with me! I’d liquidate my superfluous car, my MV Agusta F4750 and use some savings...
    As far as I can see, Rs start at £18K and go up to £25+K for the FE.
