In case you don't know there are demo rides today and tomorrow. I took a Monster 1200 and the Superbike 899 Panigale for a ride this morning. Both are super nice and super fast...probably handle like crap off road tho...

I would like to take that panigale out for a ride.. did you have to register and sign up ahead of time to ride a particular bike?

Ya there is a sign up list so go early...it's free and they take you on a loop past martensville and warman...I actually liked the monster a lot better than the panigale...I found it more comfortable and liked the power delivery better

I rode a 1200 mulitstrata, and yes it was amazing! Sick power and handling, my favourite feature besides the power and handling was the Cruize control and the 4 different riding modes. I definitely recommend riding it! Now I need to ride a Ktm 1190 to compare although I'm sure the Ktm would destroy the duck off-road.

Here's a cool video of the 1199 Panigale against a McLaren 12C - and the bike takes him! The car can corner faster in theory, but there are some shots coming out of corners where the Duc just rockets away from him. 195 HP in a superbike is just crazy!
About 1/10 the cost too!

Wow!... I wonder why they didn't have the 1199 there for the demo rides...
