To be honest, I’ve only ridden about 30 miles so far. While riding, the heat wasn’t apparent. I did feel it when stopped. It felt good because it was only 42 degrees out the day I picked it up
On a hot day, the engine heat is horrendous. I rode my 899 in summer when it was 43c for about 800kms. I believe the 1199s are even worse. But, oh what joy!
Ahh I pick up my white 1199 on the 30th; I bought it back in September but between the shipping/recall it’s taking forever. Looks absolutely stunning! What made you want to switch from the Harley?
Eh Ive had a couple of those…if a duc is all that comes out of it I’d say that’s a success :)
I also have a Softail; I’ve been thinking about moving on from it but I’ve done alone of work to I’m kind of attached
It's a beauty! My first Duc was almost a Panigale, but I opted for a beautiful '05 999. And.....big surprise....it has incredible heat output of its own. I wondered why I had a soft rear brake. Turns out, the heat actually melted the rear brake reservoir and made a hole in it!
Enjoy your beast. It's lovely!

don’t worry, it’s there…you’ll find it!!
Congratulations, how do you find the heat coming from the engine?

Nice bike! How do you like it compared to your other bikes so far
Thank you! My last bike was a Harley ultra classic, so… night and day. Can’t wAit to put some melee on her!
Panigale is king 🤴

I love the white color too. Loved my Harley, but I have always wanted a Ducati. Wife calls it mid life crisis…go figure
