Having sat on one today I can tell you it feels about 10-15mm shorter from seat to clip ons from the V4 which suited me perfectly. Ergonomically it's brilliant and as standard the windscreen is actually slightly useful.
I'd 100% be interested in one of those

Re: New Panigale V2
I didn't ask the question but there's not thing advertised.
It would be a first wouldn't it? Unless the 848 EVO counts as an S model

They've done it before and S has always out sold the standard bike.
A PaniV2s would be a big seller imo.

Re: New Panigale V2
My fondness is growing of that bike each time I think about it to be fair.. It's very track focussed in it's riding position but not as uncomfortable as the likes of the BMW S1000RR or the Aprilia RSV4. It feels extremely similar to my ZX6R now i've raised the pegs, raised the rear end and dropped the front

Re: New Panigale V2
Was impressed with this bike. Really good update of an already great bike.
15k new for a Ducati superbike when the base model Blade is 20k. I think Ducati will struggle to make these quick enough to supply demand imo.
