The 959 Panigale gets a taller and wider windscreen, similar to the 1299 Panigale, and this definitely helps keep the windblast off you down long front straights better than the comparatively skimpy predecessor. You can carry a little more confidence as you move around on the bike too, as Ducati has also updated the footpegs to ones like what you’d find on the 1299, which grip your boots far better than the previously useless pegs used on generations of Ducatis that were only good to rest your feet on when cruising in a straight line.
