Just back from my test ride on a 2015 model. Current ride is an 1199s with Termis and a custom map.
These are observations/comments and not criticisms of the RR.
Personally it looks a bit East German shot putter against Italian Super Model, in particular the seat pad and rear pillion cover looked like they didn't fit properly. The switchgear clusters are a bit messier. I'm not sure if I prefer the blue or red one best, it depends which angle you are looking from. Any issues with resale on the various colours?
The riding position is a lot more sit in rather than sit on compared to the Pani.
Surprisingly the engine seemed stronger and more linear (and a lot smoother).
Liked the down blipper and it felt nice and planted in the corners. Only got 41' lean but wasn't going to push it in chinos and a light weight jacket. I did think there was a bit of dive in braking (was in sport mode) I assume this can be dialed out or does race stiffen things up a bit?
Certainly sounded quieter and I think my neighbours would prefer the swap. I am going to borrow one again to get it sound tested at Castle Doom as the main reason for swapping is to get more track time.
Anything else I ought to consider would be welcome.
Regards
