Excellent. I bought one of these beauties in 2016 and I love it so much. However, you're correct in what you say that modern litre bikes are just to much for the roads these days. They have all the power and toys to make you feel like Rossi when you're on board but you just can't use a quarter of this bike's performance on public roads, (not without risking your licence, life and the life of everyone around you) and in hindsight the MT-10 SP would have been a better choice. However, I have what I have and rather than take a big hit on selling it, I'm stripping off all of its road going clothing in favour of a set of pattern race attire, getting it sprung and fuelled correctly and it will be my full time track bike where it belongs.

I purchased this R1 and I think it is the comfiest, no wrist,back pain or your nuts crushed against the tank, seat is a bit wider, I am 5 8" and I am on my toes. This is my 4th R1 and all the previous bikes were similar, this as broken the mould. It took me a bit of time to get used to the looks of the front end but now I love it.

Really enjoyable review as usual, bit curious about your gear selections though. At around 5.00 mins you stated "look I'm ONLY in 2nd at 60mph", well that might have been impressive in my old 1964 ford Anglia, but all these litre bikes do 100 mph or so in 1st, so to me 60 mph in 2nd is just wasting fuel and creating noise. Even in top gear from 60 it will still be eye wateringly (is that a word?) responsive. Maybe too many miles on the Panigale, as from experience i know that big V twins dont like low speed high gear. Still enjoyed the review though
@RackTheMilesWelding 5 жыл бұрын
I think the R1M is perfect for me. I thought about buying an RSV4RF or even the V4S, but there's just something about the M model R1 that twinkles my eye. I don't ride yet and I probably won't until a year or two goes by with my saturation diving gigs.

That's cool, same thing as anything else these days as far as being to much. It's all about how you have respect for the bike.

In Brisbane it is not so much the speed cameras but police cars & bikes coming around every fouth corner with radar technology that kills the speed buzz. I really do come across a traffic police car/bike on every ride without fail. Hence, I ride a tourer that can enjoy pottering along at 100Km/h. Feel sorry for sport bike riders here-little chance to legally stretch their legs without risking big fines and demerit points.
@TheMissendenFlyer 7 жыл бұрын

@lornescott-wilson6144 7 жыл бұрын
You have to be out on real country roads to have a chance to stretch your sports bike legs-very out of the way roads. In Western Australia you are allowed to have radar detectors but not on the east coast of Australia...there you could get your speed up. Also in remote spots and in the Northern Territory you can see for miles down straight roads and can whip along at a fair old pace. For most though, tourers and cruisers are a safer option, since you can enjoy plodding along at 100/110Km/h. On the plus side Australia is a massive country of USA size so lots of places to ride, some less policed than others.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 жыл бұрын
Well you're right, there is very little difference in performance, in fact I think the 899 up to 60 might even be quicker - completely different character of bike though, the R1 is smooth and howls, the Panigale is LOUD, characterful and roars!

Bought mine a couple of weeks ago for track, mainly. Took it straight to the mountains for 2 days & 650 miles of break in. If you think it's quick stock, try it with a 3/4 exhaust, minus ~20lbs of power choking emissions hardware. If you want more bite from the brakes, change the pads. Stock fork settings are stiff for me, even at 215lbs, rear soft. Front may work OK for awhile-we'll see after ~1500 miles. Rear, not so much. Ohlins TTX shock and flash kit inbound. Mirrors work OK for me...much wider and they might scrape the ground. ;)

@antonoat 7 жыл бұрын
Interesting and informative review of an interesting bike. It seems virtually every bike you ride is more comfortable than your Panigale, does that mean you find the Panigale less than comfortable? On that subject do you own your Panigale because of what it is or the way it does things? Just curious. I've never owned a Ducati and they do seem to have compromises, then again I suppose all bikes do. cheers tony

Yes well spotted - I loved the look of the Panigale when I first saw it and truth be told the Panigale was the first sports bike I ever rode, and I bought one because it's performance was incredible and it looked simply gorgeous (both still true statements!). Of late I've ridden lots of sports bikes, and they've all been more comfortable than the Panigale and just as quick. I'd still take the Panigale though.....and we say women are illogical!!

Normally your road test impressions are very accurate, on this occasion there not in my opinion. I also rode the R1 and there is no way you could do hundreds of miles in a day on one! the position you sit in isn't comfortable, the suspension is harsh and doesn't take kindly to uneven tarmac roads as the shock goes through your body rather than is soaked up by the suspension. I own a 2001 VTR1000SP1 and the R1 has the exact riding position and harsh suspension like that, the R1 has an amazing engine and electronics but to be honest anyone that does mostly track days this is the machine to buy as it would be stunning on track, but if you mainly ride on the road the only machine to buy sports bikes wise is the BMW S1000RR as its a phenomenal road bike! Your comment "you could ride to the alps on it " you would need a new spine if you did a trip to the alps!!

Well it is just my opinion and I'm mainly comparing it to my personal benchmark which is my Panigale...I found the R1 considerably more comfortable than that, but as I say, it's just my opinion....

Of all the supersports this is the one I would have....BUT never ever in the UK. way too many restrictions and penalties for a bike that extreme. Don't live there any longer but feel bad for all my old riding mates.

I think a modern 600cc bike with all the electronic aids that the R1 has (GPS and data logger included) along with proper good suspension and brakes would make me a lot happier than a 1000cc bike with all of these. I know the 1000cc will be a lot faster but we will ever need the extra power on a track. In the city a 20kg weight reduction would be a lot more valuable...

Great review of the organ donor special. I love seeing these exotic missiles but do agree a sense of proportion required. How about reviewing a sub 3 k bike of yesteryear to broaden the appeal to more realistic budgets and at the same time demonstrate the leaps and bounds bikes have come on?

Gary Campbell I still think these bikes are pretty well priced for what you are getting, and with the finance deals going that are going on you can't go wrong. sooner that than spend 3 or 4 k on a bike which has been thrashed for 20k.

Yes I do, or better still, the R6 - looking forward to riding the new version of that ASAP :0) ...the R1 is a brilliant bike, but really only of proper use to serious track day enthusiasts in my opinion, as you can't get anywhere near it's performance limits on the public road...
