Hello to everyone here, I am located in Long Island, NY, actually getting slamed with a big snow storm right now, about 10" on ground this Tuesday evening. anyway I am not a 899 owner yet, I ride a triumph street triple R, which I just love, but I checked out the 899 at my dealer this past weekend and just fell in love with it, it is so gorgeous I think I just have to have one, he had the white on the showroom floor, but I think the red wheels are just a little to flashy for me, so I think I might just go for the classic Duc red model, hopefully I won't miss my street trip too much when I trade

Believe me, you won't miss the triple when you get the 899, best bike I've owned/ridden and I've had quite a few over the years. Glad to see another red one on the way

I purchased my street triple from Gold Coast, so I will see what kind of numbers they give me as a returning customer, but my experience with them is that they quote list price plus prep and they won't really discount on new models like the 899, the other dealer on L.I. is Formula 1 out east in Oakdale.

That is the dealer am planning of going 2
I went already there to see the bike
And also went to the one on the city
But I believe gold cost will be the one

If they give a discount if they take out 2 899 at same time
I will be interested

Welcome to the forum!
What color 899 did you spot at the local dealer?
What color would you get?

they are ok there, but I really have no loyalty to them just because I purchased my Triumph from them and I was alittle pissed at the service department when I took my bike back for a first service and they said it would be done in 2 days, but ended up taking them a week without needing any parts , also I won't go to NYC Ducati because I know they ask for a premium above list because being in the city they have so many people coming in wanting to buy they can basicly name their price

thanks for the welcome S.I.U., glad I found this site, gives me a fix till I can get one, my dealer has a white on the floor now for about 3 weeks now, shocked that no one has bought it yet because it is so beautiful in person, I'm really torn between the 2 colors, but I think I'm now leaning towards the red

For sure. I am not sure if they got anymore in to be honest. I bought their first one. Waiting for winter to blow over before I pick it up.
