Hovering on the fence on purchasing an 899 and would be my first Italian lady
. I have been digging for information for months since the release. I was very close in the fall purchasing an 848 but heard the new model was coming so held off. I sure did like that 848 EVO Corse SE 2013. I have kept up on pros and cons of other Ducati models over the years because I am a fan of all manufacturers. I had a few questions from the current owners or persons with any info.
1. Does the 899 have heat issues like the 1199?
2. Haven't owned a bike with the exhaust near the pegs does it run too hot to wear tennis shoes? I have even worn a pair of Keens sandals on short rides in the heat of the summer. Was worried about BBQing my feet without riding boots.
3. I guess lastly are you happy with it? No major mechanical or electronic failures yet?
Thanks for the read/responses
