A short test ride video from a Panigale lover owner. If you have seen his other videos you will know he thinks the Panigale is the business except for the seat.

I have tried to explain to people that the design of the bike makes it perform so well, only the speedo really suggest how quick it is. You will also note how much easier it is to read than the one on the Panigale.

You will find top gear roll ons to be a little slow from free way speeds because at 80mph in 6th gear you're almost in the 3k rpm. Rollons in 6th from 100 mph (about 5k) will surprise you. He says its lacking but you notice he goes from 80 to 92 in less than 100 rpm. All the REAL power is in the middle of the band 4.5 on up. At 7.5K she has a little surge of torque that lets you know you're given it full beans.
