I took possession of a 899 Panigale in Ducati red 14 Mar in the afternoon.
I traded my 2006 R1 for it. It is my 50th birthday present to myself.
I've ridden Japanese sport bikes for 30 years. I love this Pani and that intoxicating sound. 30 **** years just to own a Ducati. Well now I have one.
Scratch one thing off of my bucket list.

Welcome to the forum and the world of Ducati. Very similar story to mine, with this being my 1st Ducati after years on Jap litre bikes, enjoy it

Actually, it was the day after,i had my long time mechanic and fellow Duc owner give it a look over. I wanted him to set sag for me. He told me to wait awhile until everything broke in.

I picked her up at BMW Ducati of Atlanta on Cobb Pkwy. The buying experience was pretty pleasant. Ducatis pretty much sell themselves. I still had some butt left after the sale. I feel like I got a good deal.

Welcome to the world of Ducati. Like many others this is my first Ducati. I have ridden a few in my lifetime but never bit the bullet to buy one as always preferred the handling and power delivery of the Japanese bikes. But this 899 is like the best of both worlds. Perfect bike.

Enjoy it!

I got mine at the same place. Pretty decent buying experience there, no complaints. I got my first service done there as well, ran me about $315 though which seems pretty insane for basically an oil service and checking to see if anything was loose.

I heard that the first service was in the $300 range. Must be using Motul with gold flakes in it. Ah well gotta pay to play i guess.
