If it was the same price as a fully loaded S1kRR I’d sell my bike or car to get one. Unfortunately to rich for my blood.:’(

i agree, the price of a Panigale S is pretty ridiculous ($32k I think) compared to the price of an 1198SP ($22k) and the price of an S1KRR ($15k)

A fully loaded S1KRR is 18k, a base 1199 is 19k.

hmm, the prices on this website seem to be off or maybe it’s in canadian dollars: [RushLane - Latest Cars News, Bikes News, Electric Vehicles, Scoops](http://www.rushlane.com/ducati-1199-panigale-superbike-production-begins-valentino-rossi-photos-1227405.html)  
(1199 Panigale $24,000, 1199 Panigale ABS variant - $25,195, 1199 Panigale S ABS variant - $31,595, 1199 Panigale S Tricolore variant - $37,585.)

edit: nevermind, that’s an Indian website and the amounts are in Indian dollars (or w/e they’re called lol). Google FTL

The cheapest way to do it to get some BMW/Ducati destroying track performance without spending $18k+ is get a used '10 CBR1kRR, spend $1500 to rebuild/valve/spring the suspension, $800 on a commander+custom map, $1000 on race exhaust and $250 on a set of Q2’s (streetable).

Last I checked it was 16.5k fully loaded? But I forgot to add tax’s to the mix.:banghead  
Also I kind of meant a fully loaded 1199 for the price of the BMW would get me to move on it.

Oh, apprently not. That’s too bad. So to summarize Ben’s article, he likes the bike.

**BTW, their client’s name is not “Vizordown”; just wanted to point that out so people don’t get trick to visit some unknown site for safety reasons.**
