Someone might know the answer to this.
I'm looking at a 2014 model of the above online with a pillion seat cowl and no pillion foot rests/hangers.
Would that have been a factory option when the bike was ordered new, or would the foot pegs/hangers have been removed at a later date?.
Ta. YFF.
Perhaps the current owner of said 899 Panigale can answer that question (they might still have the pillion pegs that were taken off)?
Or even the dealer, if its coming from a garage. If you are lucky, paperwork accompanying this bike might also show receipts for a new rear cowl ?
Majority of Sports bikes produced for the streets come with pillion pegs as standard. It's the most flexible option for buyers (taking pillions).
I know the 959 Panigale has pillion pegs fitted on as standard.
