I recently posted the thread below asking about different bikes as I was considering what to get at the time. Needless to say, my research (and budget) grew a little since then.

So, yesterday, I put a deposit down on a red 2012 Ducati 1199s Panigale. I know some on here know bikes but for those that don't, this was originally just over £20k new and is a 195hp piece of italian gorgeousness. It also comes with a slipper clutch, ABS, multi mode traction control, power modes, electronically adjustable ohlins suspension, steering damper, forged marchesini wheels and quickshifter (I may have missed a few bits!).
This one is pretty much standard and has just over 3k miles on it. Full service history and new Pirelli Supercorsa tyres. Hopefully, I'll be picking it up on 12th March - I just need to arrange a trailer or van for collection as i'd rather not have to contend with London traffic while riding for the first time on 4 years!
Purchases so far are a mammoth ground anchor and chain, oxford disc lock, abba stand and some new handlebar grips. First things to do when it arrives is give it a damn good detail and make it look as it should.
Anyway, here are a few pictures from the advert and in the showroom:
