Not that I'm getting any of them anytime soon, but change the 1199 to an 1198 and I am similarly impaired.

I'm slow as hell anyway so any performance difference is irrelevant and a Duc with a good exhaust, well:

I know what you mean.

Fucking Ducati's....I've had four of them, and I should really hate them by now, but I can't.

The BMW is a great bike in stock form.

If you are looking to maximize the potential of the bike, there are far better platforms to start from.

Perimeter frames connect the steering head to the swing arm in one piece. The Panigale is a two piece frame, (three if you count the engine). Not quite the same thing.

Perimeter vs. Panigale:

My mistakes thanks for the education.

Yeah, everytime I sell one... another one follows me home. I completely understand, yet I'm confused by our illness...
