^how dies it compare to the 899?
I've been thinking about getting a used one, and the 1199 is not much more expensive these days.I've been riding bikes for more than 10years, but spent the last 3years on a modest sportster 883.
I don't plan on using the panigale racetrack use, only weekends road trips.
The 1199s is tempting as beautiful object, but I'm afraid it could be too much on the road for me to really enjoy it.- @dyspl its batshit mental... But at the same time handles low speeds pretty well and plod along... TBH you would be fine with a 899, i had to go up as all my...necromation
- ^Agreed. Bigger doesn't always mean better. If you're looking for a great weekend bike to rip around (especially outside Vegas) you'll be happy with the 899.GM278
- Besides, the money you'll save in insurance alone might tempt you to pay for a track day or two ;) You can really improve your street riding ALOT on track days.GM278
- As all my mates where on litre bikes and I was ragging the nuts of my 899 to even keep them in distance. Get the 899 you will LOVE itnecromation
- Im usually all for lighter bikes. I enjoyed a lot my supermoto in the south of France roads. But having a panigale is also about the object itselfdyspl
- It feels to me like an exotic car. And regarding that the 1199 with the mono swingarm, the S full olhins... it makes for a beautiful machine.dyspl
- But I agree the 899 would be already plenty. Btw, not in Vegas anymore, im in San Diego now :)dyspl
