test ride booked

I am forty soon. Do I need to buy an 899 too?

You'd probably find it underwhelming after the crazy-powerful kit you've owned over the years, but I suspect it will be plenty powerful for me.

I would place handling and composure well above all out power, especially on the road.

Sounds like the perfect bike.

Enjoy!

You ride an 899 Panigale...not the other way around...I'd say it's perfect for the roads...and 145bhp isn't weak.

Lovely bike, enjoy

Tucola - Manage to make use of this weekends good weather to get some miles in, if so how was it???

Yup, was out on Saturday morning, but only had a couple of hours so basically put a tank of gas through it - 130 miles. Sunday, it totally tipped it down near me so glad I wasn't out then.

It's great.

Really easy to ride.

Wide bars and front-endish feel, so really chuckable into roundabouts. Reminded me a bit of the Buell I used to have, in that respect.

Powerful, but not crazy powerful, so was soon comfortable with it.

Feels a bit more solid and stable than a 600.

Loud, even on the standard cans, which, together with the looks, draws a bit more attention than I'm used to - got a few thumbs-ups from people!

I never found the 1199 the monster they say it is....but the 899 engine feels smoother and spins up quicker...plenty power for the roads.
