This'll be the first in Oz. 4 months of patient waiting. Nearly here, nearly here.

How much did you pay? I was going to buy one also, but i thought they were a little expensive. ( no offence). when you can buy the touring with panniers, heated grips and centre stand for around $31k

I am still deciding wether to by a multi or dievel.

Im sure you will like the bike !

Let me help you with that; If you want to ride to the local pub and think you look cool, get the Diavel.

If you want to ride your bike for more than an hour at a time get the Multi.

raafrebel PM me and I'll let you know. More than 32 though and I've got a bunch of kit too be fitted too.

What will be so special about THIS PP? I saw one at the dealer this afternoon that a guy pickup last week in Melbourne. They fitted the full Termi system for him.

Bet you won't get proper sleep for the next week. ;-)

Green with envy. I wanted one but the wife would not let me go the extra dollars, especially as I wanted panniers, top box, hot grips etc - plus I am bikeless for a big trip.

Managed to get a run out deal on 1200 S Touring tho'.

Looking forward to seeing your pictures!

Ok correction required. I apologise if I appeared to steal the thunder of the Victorians who have already taken delivery of their PP's.
I was led to believe by the importer that mine, and one other on the boat were the first deliveries in Australia. Congratulations to you gentlemen.

So it's not the first then but by God, its mine dammit.

kwizikle; I was all set to go the Touring S too until I begged for the PP. Just a bit o colour, carbon and red stitching on the seat mate, only diff. Ive "Tour" optioned the PP (bar the c' stand) to same spec anyway.
Well chosen mate - keep me posted and lets get together for a ride sometime.

kma_jg; Didn't mean to promote myself, it's just what the importer told me and sleep? I haven't slept properly for 4 months :-) and it aint getting easier.
I was offered the full Termi system at very competetive pricing but chose my secret exhaust instead.

As for you Mr flynbulldog; a man of quite bespoke taste. Riders rider. May just have to PM you to swap a few war stories. "Panigale in gestation"-I did roar with happy laughter at that. My wife said; "well done that man!".

So, sorry for the mis-information folks. Just need to get a leg over and some miles in now.

C'mon dammit....
