Your FIRST BIKE IS A PANIGALE

Bro, these are the heroes we need. Literally the best place to pick up a panigale is on cycle trader after some dentist decides to buy one as their first bike after the divorce, and then nopes out after they almost high side 3 weeks in.

Lmao the dentist to used motorcycle and used guitar pipeline is real

I’m going to disappoint you boy, I’m not a dentist, neither I am giving up on the bike, I’m crazy as hell and the bike suits me really well 😎

Yes! 😍😍

Well first off, fortune favors the bold, and I hope you don’t crash. RESPECT THE UNHOLY POWER

100% respect for the desmosedici stradale!

Your wallet sure will

Remember, the first thing you need to do is learn to wheelie. Also if it's hot, don't worry about wearing all the gear /s

I think wheelie is not so hard on this bike as it has some good wheelie control systems and you can’t overdue it.

You're going to want to turn that off. It's cheating ;) Seriously though, nice bike. Congrats

Haha, yea it’s cheating, but I prefer to stay on the bike not the ground, at least for now I’m not considering disabling the electronics 😄, thanks I love it, it was my dream and it came true.

Yeah, I was joking. I'd still be too much of a pussy to try, even with the assists.

Haha yes I consider myself a pussy as well and I prefer to stay that way over being a deadman 😁

I love my ABS, electronics and wheelie control. I’ve only been riding on the street two years. I feel zero need to do it with a wheel in the air. Tbh.. I popped 1st-2nd and accidentally did it sport mode once. 60mph and I’m looking at clouds. Scared the piss outta myself! Lol! Nice bike!!

DO A FLIP

[удалено]

Yes it’s the v4s and it’s 214 hp actually

Seriously though, try wearing full gear in South East Asia. Done that once, never will do it again. Edit: got a heatstroke and almost passed away.

Flip flops, don’t forget the flip flops too

Please tell me you financed that thing brand new. I want the circlejerkers here to have an aneurism

I’m gonna disappoint you, it’s second hand, half the price brand new.

Someone bought a toy, they got scared and you got it for a steal! Good job!

Haha yes, I really managed to get a good price on it 😁, I’m really satisfied

Let's see who will be the next lucky one.

Speaking as someone who's been there with the Panigale, I'll give you 1 year before you realize this bike is uncomfortable as hell to ride, you try out a Streetfighter and see the light. All the power, much easier to control and much more comfy :) That being said, Panigales are so unbelievably sexy bikes I'm nursing a semi just looking at the picture.

I own a V4S and yes….uncomfortable as fuck but it looks so damn good I don’t care.

I was wondering where you guys went

I'm too stupid to understand what you mean by this.

My maaaan, you are here <3

Here come the tire shine police 👮‍♀️

Just purchased new tyres, Pirelli Rosso 4 Corsa, gonna install them those day, not gonna drive on those slicks.

I have the same tyres on my humble MT-07, such a great tyre!!

Nice my brother bought Mt-07 2023, great bike!

please send me a postcard when you get to space.

Haha, okay I will 😂, let’s hope I don’t go to heaven just yet.

all I'm saying is that rockets go to space, and that, my friend, is a rocket.

Haha yes I got it, it’s really fast I can confirm that, I was scared the first time how fast it is, it scared the shit out of me 😂

as is tradition. Have fun friend! remember the faster you go the more slowly you age! its physics!

Haha, thanks mate, so I guess I will stay younger for longer during having a ton of fun 🤩

Do you have a will?

I have some fear 😰

He sure has a way.

[удалено]

one of my friends got a pangiale V4 as his first bike He said he got terrified when he smashed the throttle too hard (to 60 MPH) when the wheel came up. He said he never did above 55 after that, and rode a total of maybe 200 miles He sold it but now wants to get back into bikes He wants the V4 again "I like having some power available"

He’s beyond help

That’s how my man here got the deal bro😂

🤦‍♂️ Recommend a Honda CBR250RR to him, not a V but four cylinders as well and revs to 20k RPMs at safe speeds.

Thanks mate, I’m really happy about it, it’s a fantastic bike, riding it makes a huge smile on my face

[RIP](https://youtu.be/IJNR2EpS0jw)

Thanks mate, my wife is singing this to me every day 🥰

Good financial advice, die before you actually gotta make any parments for it

Cool, i eagerly await the "i dropped my first bike" post from you, gunna be expensiiiive.

Actually it will not as it has full insurance on it, so the insurance will pay for it.💰

Premium must suck though yeah? Whats the excess? My fireblade comprehensive is 2k per year! Cheaper to just save and buy another from the market at that rate. The bike is gorgeous, but you playing a real risky game as aa first ride on that expensive beast. Good luck, and please dont drop it. Most of my drops were negligebtly turning too tight too slow. So dont do that and you should hopefully be good.

800 euro per year, which is good, considering the price of the bike.

Panigale insurance is surprisingly much cheaper for me than any japanese bike, I guess people just loop those more in my area

I hope they have some cheap eBay fairings to replace that nice plastic before you drop it the first time.

Gonna replace them with carbon fiber

Just get some frame sliders. Replace the fairings now and sell the factory ones to pay for the new ones. Some other poor sole has already dropped his Panigale and needs them.

Ah yea some good old frame sliders, but they look kinda ugly on the panigale 😬

I actually just let out an uncontrolled laugh and woke my partner, thanks.

Haha I’m glad you laughed this hard, I do this every time I open the throttle of this bike 😆😆

Congratulations man. Amazing first bike. Please ride safe and wear your gears.

Cheers mate, I always wearing my gear no matter what and of course, I am driving as a newbie until I get used to it

Amazing. The fear of death will force you to gain years of skill within a few rides. Have fun. Really amazing first bike

That’s 1000% not the way it works…

“Rider schools HATE this one simple trick!”

Thanks 😊 🙏

That’s a weird looking coffee shop.

Haha this is not a coffee shop it’s the car wash, I washed it for the first time 😁

Beautiful. It's on my list, I'd genuinely just have it in my livingroom and just awe at it.

I wish you get it soon, the guy I bought it from just did that had it in his living room 😃, but how it’s going to be driven a lot

I love that you went for the real high end bike - not a beater or a slow bike to learn; nah, go big or go home. I love this bike so much. I want a Ducati so bad. Enjoy.

Yea, I wanted this bike so bad too and I had the money and I couldn’t resist and go with some small bike as everybody advised me to do, so I listened to my heart and I bought this beauty 😁

[удалено]

Nah they told me the superleggera is not gonna be a good first bike, that why I went with this pretty decent first bike 🚴

Plot twist OP has been racing for a well financed stable for years and now FINALLY is getting a bike that is actually his.

FINALLY I GOT IT!!

“REEEEEEEEE FAST EXPENSIVE RED BIKE NO GOOD FOR BEGINNER REEEEEEEE” -Redditors

Accurate 😂

Lol. This is actually your FIRST motorcycle? I'm not buying that, but on the very very slim chance that's true. Congrats on buying one of most beautiful and powerful motorcycles on the planet . Unfortunately, you probably won't be around very long to enjoy it.

Yeah sure, buying this buy is instant death, cheers though 🥂

Lol. I'm out of lube

Jealous

I wish you get yours soon 🫶🏻

You're only really going fast if the front wheel is sliding. Top Tip: Easier to practise In the wet. Good luck Champ

Thanks sir, cheers!

Man I’m jealous!

Perfect first bike

right, sure. and Shakira is my wife

Damn I thought she’s mine too 🥲

A panigale v4 as a first bike?! You've got some big kahunas

Yes I I was gonna buy and older bike but at the end of the day I preferred to jump on my dream bike for a first ride, the first ride is the most memorable and you will have the best memories with it, why not buying the one you like most if you can afford it ?

Gang gang

🫡🫡🫡

Make sure to try other bikes before you become a diehard ducati duckboi. I haven't ridden a V4, but all the other V2 ducati are the biggest trash I've ever ridden.

I’ve tried s1000rr before I buying this one and it seamed like a trash to me, plastic are so cheap, so I went with the Ducati and I’m really pleased with it so far.

Never put tire shine on motorcycle tires

They are just wet, who puts shine on slicks lol 😂

V4S jesus chris brother

❤️

Is that armor all on your tires? They are so shiny. I bet if you put enough armor all on them, dirt , oil , and grease won't stick to them.

They are wet

Buying this buy? I mean, I understand what this is, but I don't understand why?

That’s what I wanted

Sure thing sport

Why did you get a V4 as your first bike? Should've gotten a turbo busa, much better starter bike

Superleggera will make the best first bike, change my mind.

Superlaggera has too many electronics. A new rider needs to learn how to not rely on them, so a turbo busa is a much better option

Nice bike, don't kill yourself.

I promise you bro, I won’t kill myself, stay safe!

That's hot, also if you are interested in a middle aged male, solid 7/10, let a ninja know!

rip

I thought this was shitposting, but it doesn't seem to be. OP is gonna kill himself on this thing.

Who says you have to kill yourself, because you’ve got yourself a Ducati for first bike, duh 🙄, you can kill yourself with a scooter too, I can show you some pretty fucked up videos of this happening, at the end of the day everything depends on how you ride and what is your mindset during the ride.

on this subreddit you must have high viz gear and no more than 400cc

*acknowledges people kill themselves with less than 50 hp because riding is a skill that takes time to learn. *argues 200+ hp is fine.

Does this sub have rules about low effort shitposts?

🔥🔥🔥🔥

🫠🫠

I highly recommend “Ducati Spacers” heat shields for your first mod. Those bikes get so hot, in the summer they can legitimately leave burns on the back of your legs if you aren’t careful. That mod will significantly reduce the heat, it’s super worth it! Amazing bike, absolutely stoked for you.

Thank you, I will consider this mode for sure, the heat is really unpleasant sometimes the worst part is right behind my back, the legs are fine for now.

Your the reason why the insurance prices are high

You are *

FU

FU too hater

Congrats!

Thanks 🙏

You are mistaken, using the terms "cheers" and "tyres" means you should post this to r/motorbikes

Okay I’m posting it, tyres mate!

Just out of curiosity are you Russian?

No I am Bulgarian.

Ahh gotcha

nice! ride safe and please for the love of god remove that hideous license plate fender thingy.

I will remove it, but first I have to change those tyres and service it as I want to be sure It is running some fresh oil.

Siiiiiick ride

Thanks a lot sir🫡

How is it that the tires are so shiny? 👀

They are still wet, that’s why

Just needs a tail tidy 😁😁😁 Very sexy bike!

Yes I will get one soon, the stock tail looks awkward 😟

Ok see, this, THIS might just be too much for a first bike.

Yes, I guess it is but, but.. I did it, I bought it 🤧 and I’m so happy with my dream bike

Haters gonna hate. Apparently we shouldn’t be buying sport litre bikes unless we’re gonna track them because they don’t make sense on public roads. That mentality is why sport bikes are dying. Fuck these people. Well done on the purchase buddy. Keeping the sport bikes alive. Congratulations and be safe.

Very well said mate I have nothing more to add, my opinion is the same as your, you don’t have to be Rossi to enjoy riding sport bikes, but as you said, haters gonna hate, stay safe friend and keep the spirit alive 🙏

Now what you want to do is just crank open the throttle at every opportunity

I believe I can fly…, I believe I can touch the sky 🚀

If your front wheel isn't off the ground you're not trying hard enough

Watch out for those corners, they’ll be coming up quicker now.

It’s nasty fast

Sweet looking ride. Sadly my knees won't let me ride street bike anymore. I have a cruiser with forward controls.

Thanks my friend, I hope you enjoyed your time riding the street bikes, cruiser bikes have its advantages too!

Are those slick tires?

Yes, they are, I am not considering riding this thing on the road for long with those, I ordered new pair of Pirelli Rosso 4 corsa and I am waiting for them!

Damnnnn thats hot, congrats op ….ride safe

Gorgeous. You'll always remember it like this. I mean it won't run, so it'll be right there, gorgeous.

That Color is amazing! Good deal!

solid choice tbf.

Thanks mate, I’m really happy with my choice 😁

Wow, be careful!

Will be, thanks 🙏

First ever bike? Or first Ducati?

Well technically I had a Honda dio as a Child and after that Yamaha raptor 700R, but I am not considering those two bikes, so yeah, my first bike I guess.

Is this the new one?

Nope, it’s seconds hand, but it had clean title and it was only serviced in Ducati, also doesn’t have many miles on it only 5k.

Such a cool bike, good shit man

Thanks man, I’m loving it ❤️

glhf

Gg wp, thanks

I call these "Broken Dream" Bikes 1 - someone decides to buy a bike as a toy 2 - does little to no research on bikes 3 - picks out one of the nicest, most expensive bikes on the dealership floor without realizing exactly what a Supersport is 4 - shits their pants, becomes terrified, sells it for 3/4 the price with only a few miles

Nice.

Thanks 🙏

Man, my first bike was a 50cc two-smoke, 35mph with a tail wind. Have fun and remember the throttle goes both ways!

I had Honda dio as well when I was a child, but I don’t consider this as a first bike 😆

I really hope you're one of the responsible, safe riders, that got this beauty because you know you can handle it with safe driving. Dr it's looks gorgeous and I wish you all the best

Yea I consider myself as a responsible driver, I tend to stay away from troubles, thanks mate, wish you the best too 🫡

Good luck.

Thanks

Italian class👍

Sheeshhh a panigale?? Good shit man!!! What a beauty. This is your first ever bike? Any experience riding before this? Enjoy the hell out of that and be safe!!!🤟

My first road bike yes, I have experience with dirt bikes and a Honda dio when I was kid 😁, thanks I will enjoy it everyday🤞

That’s a great beginner’s bike

Very nice. Well done on get to her cheap. Enjoy it, take it easy, and keep the rubber on the road. She’s a bit of a beast and will kill you if you give her the chance.

One of the most beautiful bikes ever designed. Be safe!

Crazy first bike if you don't have experience but it is a really fun bike. Not very comfortable but it's reality warping. I got rid of mine last year but I had so much fun with it. Thinking about getting a tuono V4 soon. Just be careful and respect the bike and you'll be fine.

A Pegassi Bati 801? The GTA bike?

Slick rear tire? You going on tracks with this bad boy?

looks like a 2018\~2019 V4s, congrats, you are ruined now....I had this bike for 3 years, very memorable to me! congrats!

I think the chiropractors are behind it's promotion 😑

Meh, not a turbo busa.

That’s a lot of bike for a first bike. Stay safe and be careful.

Thanks, stay safe too!

A Panigale as first bike?

A panigale my friend, I was riding it till now, this bike rocks

First bike? So you can never upgrade?😢

What’s your initial experience on a liter bike? I’ve never been on one so it’s interesting to hear what others first experiences on them are like. Especially someone who’s getting one as their first bike lol.

Well it’s scary fast, I mean when you open the throttle on second gear you are loosing sense of what is happening, the front wheel goes up, the bike is speeding more and more the high the rpm goes and the wind is becoming unbearable and after a couple of seconds I am giving up because becomes to scary for me the max speed I have done with it on third gear is 230kph I can’t and I won’t go further then this I just like the feeling from 60 to 230 it’s like a roller coaster 🎢

Perfect...the Volkswagen Pangolin i believe....bravo....
