1199 Panigale

October 14, 2011 Richard's Rant by Richard Morgan

The news is out and I do not need to put down here all about the incredible new engine as I am sure you have all read about it it either on websites or MCN.

The truth is this bike really is something totally new, everything is new and the engine is a huge technological leap forward. Ducati despite there reputation as being very expensive service, are in reality very reasonable to service, the service intervals are going up and up and the new engine has moved on again.

Suddenly we are seeing a very different product, I still get reminded by certain bikers that Ducati have over the years gone through the odd period of unreliability and poor finish. I am pleased to say all of that is very firmly in the past. We have been selling Ducati for over 20 years to be honest we have had a few problems but it has always been easy to sort out and Ducati as ever did its utmost to sort any problems out. Finish is second to none, Service intervals are some of the longest in the whole motorcycle industry, spares back up is first class, ( although i admit accessories can be a bit slow coming through ). The problem as always, Ducati Bashing is very popular. A certain German manufacturer fitted there new supersports 4 cylinder with some hondaesque chocolate camshafts bikes were rattling and breaking down all over the place hardly got a mention, and similar thing on Honda and Kawasaki. One Ducati is a bit lazy to start and every one is happy to slag Ducati off. Speak to most Ducati owners and find out the truth they are really as good if not better than most other bikes.     So watch this space when the Panigale hits the street a lot of fur will fly.
