Ducati 899 Panigale?

I wasn't referring to Rybo, he's always very informative and respectful. I was referring to Drano's comment.

Ya I'd certainly agree, though I'm not sure I agree with him on the power or gearing being better on the 899, but a lot of that is perspective, and the 1199 does have a pretty poor power curve. But as poor as it is, I'd personally take it over the 899 still. But I like I said earlier, I'm a power addict. There's never enough for me!

I don't see his comments. Naa Townie I like you!

For the riding type we have here (twisty canyons), I would take the middle weight over the heavy weight any day of the week. Flickability (if their is such a word), is a big part of what makes riding in the twisties so much fun.

I have to agree with this. As much as I loved my 2007 VFR800, my new 2014 VFR800 is lighter and much more flickable. I have noticed since I got it that I'm much faster and having much more fun on every ride.

The 1199 is lighter than the 899, but with a longer wheelbase probably isn't as easy to transition. I notice at HPR my S1000RR takes a lot of work through the corkscrew, and I notice the middle-weights seem to transition a lot quicker. Probably partially due to rider skill, but also having a long wheelbase fatty.

It's primarily due to the displacement difference between a 600 and 1000 and the gyroscopic effect a motor has when it's spinning.

Ducati's are sexy bikes no doubt there. On a side note , caught the moto gp in Malaysia a few weeks ago. Ducati was there but it broke dwn during race. Boo hoo..
