Just Bought A New Bike...

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by DanABZ, Jan 14, 2015.

  1. Hi all,

    Just thought that I'd say hi because I've just put a deposit down on a new white 899 that I'll pick up on the 1st March. :upyeah:

    Coming from a 2013 ZZR1400 so it will certainly be a change but I'm sure that it will be a good change.

    Cheers guys,

    Dan
     
  2. Welcome DaveABZ :)
     
  3. Dave?! :p
     
  4. ABZ,, Shirlaws or DG ?
     
  5. I've been dealing with DG as Shirlaws, although very nice, aren't willing to PX my current bike and as far as I know can't get new Ducatis in. :)
     
  6. Shirs had 2 ducs in few months ago,, but sold quickly, DG has a nice showroom and I had a wee chat with a very nice friendly guy on parts counter last week. are you in ABZ,, I am in PH ( but my bike is still tucked up for winter,, few months hibernation yet !! )
     
  7. how do.
     
  8. Yeah it was actually the red one Shirlaws had in recently that got me thinking. Ended up being just as cheap for a new one from DG.

    They've been really good for answering questions and getting me a good deal, I'd definitely recommend them. I haven't actually test ridden an 899 but from discussions with people who've ridden the same bikes as me and tried the 899 I've formed the opinion that I should have one. ;)

    Very excited now, really look forward to it and hopefully some nice weather as well.

    What do you ride?
     
  9. Hello and welcome to the madhouse ABZ Dave

    I see you have met some if the local trouble makers

    Have fun and enjoy :)
     
  10. Do you have a six PAC :)
     
  11. 749s,, looking forward to some good weather also !!! maybe I will have it on the road by march,, q few Duc owners in scotland now,,,, maybe get a few runs in..
     
  12. I think that I might have to change my username, you're already the second person to call me Dave! Haha.

    Now this one you'll have to explain to slow thinking me!

  16. And here is the biggest trouble with the TT in black ; D
     
  17. Very nice. Had a friend a number of years ago that had a 748SP (I think!) in yellow and I love the way it sounds and looks. Without resorting to Google I presume they're very similar? :)

    Would definitely be good to get a few rides organised once the weather starts picking up a bit!
     
  18. Best colour is red and it's the fastest
    Make sure it's polished well as the wind just glides over

    Vincenzo .....
     
  19. Ah, gotcha!! I was more thinking it was for Aberdeen. But to answer your question - no, I definitely don't have abs... Lol.

    I know a lot of Ducati owners will hate the white but I just don't like red cars/bikes so white was a no brainer for me!
