1199s with termis going for the same price as a bog standard lowish mileage 899 is just cerrrazy. Ducati 1199 Panigale | eBay
they are definitely hard work, and the 1199 is much more ‘on the move’ as it’s got more power so the little Panigale monocoque shuffle is exaggerated. It also wants to wheelie a lot, like in the middle of a corner, everywhere really if it gets to 8k revs. It’s just a very very intense bike
@Red899, have you seen this, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/30484110...DXzQxggOp+enas2EdUagTfJnOi|tkp:Bk9SR6y5ze3cYQ ? Andy
If you can’t get hold of him I’m happy to message him with your contact details asking him to call you? Let me know.
The amount of bikes I've had the last couple of years, the only one I've had sellers remorse over was a mint 899 I sold with 3 owners, FSH, Termis and only 5k miles. Wish I kept that one.
I have said it loads of times, selling my 899 was a massive mistake, pisses me off when folk say get a 11/1299 the 899 is overpriced bla bollocks bla, if you know, you know and the 959 argument, well the 959 is like the fat bird that hangs round with the good looking bird. The 8 is the perfect balance of looks, performance and weight.
Trying to work out if I can fit it in my living room as I don’t have storage prepped in the garden yet, anyone able to confirm how wide the bars are? Anything under 33” and I think we’re in business.
keep going, dont rush, so many people buy with their heart, the weather is still a bit shit at the mo so you are missing fuck all, the 'one' will appear and you will know its the one, not much on AT at the mo, and then i expect suddenly 8 will appear in one day mine went online and the sales guy was out til afternoon, i was the first to actually speak to him and paid deposit immediately as i knew it was a good'n, a bit of fate kicking in i am actually a bit excited for you (how sad is that)
I’m excited also, it felt really special getting mine the other week. I’ve bought too many bikes really recently, none have felt as special as picking this up
im not sure if that excitement ever goes every time i go out to the garage and pull the sheet off i get a flutter
