Can't blame you, they're still the best looking thing on 2 wheels IMO. I demo tested the Panigale S back when it came out in '12... They're a lot better sorted geometry-wise than the 1*98 series bikes and they certainly have a $h*t ton of power (way more than what anybody not named Bayliss can use IMO), plus those nifty electronic rider aids. But something's still missing. Maybe sometimes more is less.
I've already got full Ohlins, a Dan Kyle link, Woodcrafts, Termis, and a bunch of other junk on my 848 so I'm pretty much committed to it. I'll add 28 or 30mm offsets, possibly go 520 15/41, and maybe upgrade the brakes and call it lovely.
