there is a guy who did it to his Panigale, id think the SD would be even more fun, the suspension is up to it and the ride position is just, well, better suited!
ill report back when i have it set up.

What you're planning seems fairly similar? He looks to be running wets on his bike.

The Pirelli Scorpion Sync may be a way in and a bit cheaper. Do they make the TKC in a 180 series?

I remember the video of that bike being ridden on a dirt road. Couldn't do a wheelie, couldn't go fast, and the rider looked like a monkey trying to fook a football. I would take an SV650 with mandlebars over that Panigale on dirt any day.

Copy and paste the "IMG" link from Photobucket. I always forget how to post pics and videos, such a PITA.
There's a good fire road where I grew up in Madison, Blakey Ridge is what it's called. It's at the end of Quaker Run Rd Rt 649 near Criglersville and dumps out near Wolftown. Go to the top of the mountain and make a left at the 4 way "intersection". It is passable with an SUV.

I just had lunch, saw your bike with knobs, and want to puke.....sad, so fookin' sad.
$600-$800 bucks and you can have a dirt bike...with real suspension for dirt.
You are going to hurt your self with that, with out real dirt bike experience. Hope you have good gear and insurance.
Yes, you do need a dirt bike, you just don't know it.
And, no, that is not a dirt bike just because you have knobs.

Tried to stay of dirt bikes last year to heal up. Took my 950 Adventure to our club ride so I would not be tempted to ride trail. Got the dirt bug bit real bad so I thought I just run down a little bit of trail, just a little, mind you. Front end washed out, head butted my wind screen with my lip/nose/teeth. Thought I knocked my teeth out / split my nose. Got back to event parking lot after another guy helped my pick my big dog up....fooker's are HEAVY....to get patched up, bloody mess, everyone looking.
Of all the bikes I have I will have to say I like riding my 300 2 smoker the best...hands down. I have a fantastic place to ride and been doing it the same place since 1977.... Not all have a place like this and I have worked my ass off for it.
Not a big deal trucking my bike to the ride area. And new real knobs are like Velcro. Riding road to get there will destroy them. I put new tyres on last Friday night and felt the tyres going off within 20 miles. A good starter size bike is the 250cc range. and some where in the 230 pound range. Rest is over kill.
