Owners of both or experiences with both 24 S1000RR and 24 V2!
Tale as oldest time….long time motorcycle rider and enthusiast (35 y/o) have owned some Ducs and Triumphs in the past. Most recently a Ducati Hyper but it’s been a couple of years since I’ve had a 2 wheeled fun machine in the stable.
With that being said, Ducati has always put a smile on my face so really considering a Panigale V2, I plan to do mostly commuting type riding with hopes to throw a couple of track days in. I’m near a fairly rural area with a lot of twisty roads, etc as well.
I’m big in research so I felt like I would have been doing myself a disservice if I didn’t throw another bike into the mix…which is the S1000RR.
Is there anyone that has experienced/ridden/owned both and can give me some pros cons. What I have gathered at this point. Electronics, warranty, etc is a little leg up with the S1000RR but I’ve heard it’s a little more numb feeling. Whereas the Panigale will always put the smile on the face but has its flaws too…ie. Super hot, no fuel gauge, extremely expensive servicing, etc.
Just split between these two bikes as two what my best decision might be for my next purchase. Obviously both outstanding! Both completely different characteristics, etc. but turning to Reddit see what some people’s experiences have been!
I should add, I am in Michigan so riding season is fairly short comparatively to other regions.
Thanks everyone!!
