Bring on some dry roads

Hi Ballbagracer,

A very warm welcome to the forum. Even i am ready for some good warm weather.

how do you compare your new ride with the older 1098s??

Cheers,
CJ.

The biggest difference is the low down punch that I had with the 1098. That was a major grin factor but at times a bit of a handful lol the delivery of power in the 899 is so much smoother/linear. I haven't pushed hard yet but think it will be a bundle of laughs it feels more agile. I had considered the 1199 but 195 bhp phew!! I am sure this will be everything I need ;-)

Welcome to the forum, wish I'd managed to get those miles, still under 200, need the Manchester weather to improve, and soon!!

Linear power is always good.
Glad to hear that's the case here with the 899, still haven't got onto one as yet.
