Today I had a test ride.... IN LOVE

[j.silvs]

I had a test ride of the 899 Penigale today!

I spermed in my pants.

Work is going pretty well recently and I am very tempted to make an order and go for it. Got a wedding coming up next year but it is doable and the Mrs has given the thumbs up

Any bad points anyone knows of yet? best to wait a bit until any gremlins have come up and gone?

Just buy it mate, no regrets

[Northern Monkey]

Go for it. Quickly, before she changes her mind

[Benjums]

If you have been given the thumbs up from the boss mate what are you still doing here? I would be down the shop before she had finished the sentance.

You know just what to say lol

I am going to sleep on it. But I think I may be down to Ducati first thing tomorrow!!!

Just don't want to make the decision without at least sleeping on it

[drzsta]

I do love the fact that you were never riding again, now contemplating new 899

[j.silvs]

[J biker]

Go for it. Ducatis seem to be reliable now and I am loving my problem free MTS1200

[Bubblin77]

Nice but a panigale I saw that was a year old and ridden most days was rusted to buggary, for a year old bike with 6k miles I'd be pretty pissed off with it.

The only question is red or white?

I've heard nothing but good things, and in the white they look teh sex.

The BvG vid above shows the reservoir cap hits the screen, which would wear both doth eventually. Something to look at/mention at the time.

Ask how much the belts and valves service is. Also get and extended warranty if available. The MTS1200 15000 mile service can be costly, seen quotes from £450 if no adjustment required up to £1000 if the valves need adjusted. Don't know about the Pan, just saying.

[suburban myth]

I'm seriously considering passing my test just to have one of these. I've always wanted a 748/916 and this is the only bike that has even made me think about changing my mind. Oh, and there's no question - white.

If you fancy buying brand new, I'd do it too.

I've always fancied a brand new bike, never had one yet.
