    Ducati Panigale Bayliss 1st Championship 20th Anniversary - Project Build

    YESSSSSS!!! Love this post! Lol Congrats on the sweet ride. I pick up mine in April. I’m driving to Texas and hauling my pikes peak with me to get the upmap. Had no idea there was a work around in California! @KODAKHODAK , did you goof around with the suspension settings and try to plush the...

    Looking good Rossi! 😉 I missed the post. Did you go -1 on the countershaft sprocket? Were you hitting the rev limiter on the straight?

    Ducati Panigale Bayliss 1st Championship 20th Anniversary - Project Build

    Hey happy Friday! You know, I honestly don’t remember. Between the 190/55, 200/55, 200/60, and the 200/65, you get different results. Quicker turn in etc. I’m pretty simple and usually see what the tire guy recommends at the track and go from there. The tech is always changing and since tire...

    Hahahaha. So you know what I’m talking about! 😉 thanks for the kind words. The V4 was completely built for me by Ducatin Austin so I couldn’t really say it was my build like the V2. But I guess there is something to be said for instant gratification! Lol Even the SP2 will have some mods that...

    Happy too! Yes, the V2 has been so great. Not even 1400 miles and the bike is just so dialed in. I just… gelled with the V2. This is the first time I really experienced some first class electronics on a bike. Getting back on throttle, it always gives grip. It’s so smooth that I could feel...

    ….and now the time has come for the un-build portion of this thread. I have put a lot of love into this bike, and it has really exceeded my expectations in how well sorted the Panigale is. Literally everything has been done to this bike except for a full suspension swap. Will be a shame to take...

    Haha! Thank you... I have been track riding off and on for about 15 years now. I had a CBR600RR, an R6, and now the V2. I never had a big liter bike for the track. It was skill building trying to carry as much corner speed as I can, and brake as late as I can. Then I decided to get the V4...

    Hey guys! Well, I went and bought a Pikes Peak and also a Panigale V4. I am considering selling the V2. she has about 2200 miles on the clock. Although I would like to sell it as is at a premium, I am sure I probably will not get what it’s worth, so I may start the un-build pretty soon. Lol...

    Hi KODAKHODAK! For my traction settings, I turn off wheelie control on street mode. On the Race mode, I leave it with how Ducati set it up...works great! I always run the tire calibration, when I go from street set up tires to track tires.

    Hi! There were a few reasons. Definitely easier to resell down the road. I cant speak to the difference because I never tried the stock sizes on track. In my mind, the weight of the V2 and V4 are almost the same. I figured that if anything, I would have the same grip as the big bikes, but with...

    Hi KODAKHODAK, I really have no idea. I peeled my stock wheels off within the first few miles. I am running the stock Panigale V4s wheels and tires for the street now. 200/60/17. On a 17”x6“ wheel

    Heyyyyy, I got lucky. Bought the wheels used and in amazing shape with ceramic coating. Then found this forum along with the sale! 😉
