I am tempted to buy one, so I am very interested in anything you have to say about the bike! Any pictures? Any kind of aftermarket items?

Thanks for the advice ! I was / am tempted to buy a Panigale S, but
so far I am not yet convinced that it is better than a db7 or db8sp.
Looking at the prices for used bikes, I am tempted even more to return
to Bimota. ( I had a highly modified db2sr for many years). I guess the
old engine is better for the road, and the old Bimota breaks seem to be far better than the tame ABS brakes on the 1199. I am also not sure about
how the electronic suspension on the Panigale reacts to individual springs
for my weight. I have 65kg, and I train hard to stay in shape, and I am not going to drive a bike setup for a 95kg guy. With the Bimota conventional
suspension this is easily fixed. So one more argument. The arguments
against the db7 are manly its ugly exhaust and the not so pretty headlights.
Everything else seems to be fine to me. Coming from a db2sr, I am not even trying to have the fasted bike on the straight, nor the highest HP number. Just give me a light bike for mountain roads, that does not loose out
each time I accelerate out of a corner.
