I was at the closest Ducati dealer yesterday (2 hours away) and sat on a 899 for sometime. Although it wasn't a planned visit since I was in the area for something else; I almost took one home. Even my wife was convinced that yesterday was the day. Then the sales guy came with sales b.s. wanting 1500 usd over msrp plus taxes, other fees etc. I didn't even asked for the final price. I told him to call me when he is willing to drop the bs charges. I'm not in a rush for buying. He also dismissed the comments about slippery footpegs as whining. So more reasons to walk away. Unfortunately, it is the only dealer around so when the time comes I will have to end up there anyway.
Now to the bike: it felt just right and light. It fits like a glove and even though I am 5'7" it didn't feel too tall or uncomfortable. Beautiful piece for sure. They had a white and red one but I didn't like the white one. Red called my name like she was made for me.
