My next door neighbor and I both bought our bikes relatively around the same time so we both looked over both bikes side by side to discuss the finer points.His bike is a 1299 panigale.Without question I think the RR trumps the ducati,in overall value for money,usability and spec for similar money.However there were some things I think Bmw should've of done.
Main issue for me...Color TFT instrument screen with an easier menu interface.Color coding the menus would make selection alot more intuitive.The old LCD looks old school now among the crop of other high end bikes released within the last 3years that mostly all come with colour TFT interfaces.I think Bmw let down the side on that front.
Design wise I'm not a fan of the exposed box section steel rear frame that the rear foot pegs attach too.It looks a bit low tech
What else would you guys say is a point for improvement.
