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
