I'm from new jersey usa, and i'm planning to get 899 , so wanted to get the most inf. possible on this bike , my starter bike was a 2007 yamaha r6s, but i saw the ducati 899 and i love it , my friend has a ducati 1199. so any suggestion or advices will be well taking thanks.

coming from an R6, I wont think twice to take the plunge on the 899,,,,it would be a perfect upgrade. you will for sure love it. you will find a lot of good information about the motorcycle on here,,all you have to do is read, read and read

anyways, welcome to the forums

Cheers,
CJ.

no suggestions or advice

just buy one

its awesome

you wont regret it.

the r6 is a nice bike

but the 899 is just that much nicer.

Welcome to the forum.

The bike is much easier to ride around town than the 1199 and the suspension, power and ergos are nicer than on a stock R6.
The 899 has power down low so unlike the R6 you won't have to wring it's neck to get where you are going. The low down revs and torque will serve you well.

Read my street and track reviews on the homepage for more info to wet your tastebuds.

Good luck will everything

Welcome to the forum, you'll find loads of good stuff on here to help you make your mind up. The advise I'd give is get down to the dealers tomorrow and get one, best bike I've owned and I've owned quite a few over the years, it's a bike that's got everything you'll ever need, power, looks and the grin factor.

Thanks you everybody for THE input i'll let you guys know when i get it.

R6 to 899 will be one SWEET transition. Like mentioned above you will not regret it. Haven't heard many bad things about the 899. Keep us posted on when you get one

Get it, I have an 07 r6 track bike, and for the streets- go ducati!! More torque and has the same "ride on the front wheel" feeling too.

I'm still waiting on the bike , the dealer scratched the first one , now i send the exhaust pipe to ceramic coating so another two weeks before the bike is on my hands. I'm going crazy here lol. I put like 7k extra on the bike i can't wait how is going to come out.
