  2. Good job! You will love it, I know I love mine, had it a month, done 800 miles on it and it's getting better
     
  3. Lucky you. Enjoy
     
  4. Been years since I've had a new bike and never had a Ducati. I'm still getting my head round buying in the Autumn, just in time for winter. :D

    Sure I will be asking loads more questions in the very near future about all sorts.
    Phil how does it compare to other bikes you have ridden?

    Cheers Lads.
     
  5. Umm, how long u got?

    I would say it's a lot easier to live with than the 848, if u are new to Ducati's it's a much easier way in as it steers and handles like a 'traditional' bike, where are as standard the 848 and 1098 have unique characteristics that take a while to get comfortable with.

    Can't really compare it too much to the two Daytona's I have had, loved the triple engines and they were skinny and easy to move around on but that's about it.
     
  6. Very nice. I'm resisting the urge to take one out for a spin as I know I will want/need one. Enjoy :upyeah:
     
  7. Good point. Need one. Exactly. :upyeah:
     
  8. I resisted the urge for a whole year and a half, then rode one... Then spent 5 weeks lusting after one and then bought one....
     
  9. It's an awesome bike! I never get bored riding it! It really comes alive after the 600 mile service!
     
  10. Did you get a 1299 brochure with it?
     
  11. No but I did get a " how to spot a wanker" brochure. :D
