Steady now. I've done a bunch of homework. Yes, the 899 is slightly heavier than the 1199. Only slightly and that would be due to the double swing arm and the fact that there is more engine metal because the cooling jackets haven't been cut back to allow for the larger bore size. Same thing happened with the 848. The engine was slightly heavier than the 1098 and the 1198 engines because metal weighs more than air.  You forgot to add the weight of the cash still in you wallet after the insurance man gets done with you. That's fairly high on the COG too. |

True that, do tell. Although, actually, there wasn't much difference insurance wise between the 999 & the 848. The big difference was dropping the 848 policy and just going with the R12S. Cut things in half.   |

999 & 848 both under a liter. Conversation with my agent is that's a big trip point. 1199 vs. 899 I think would net some $avings. It might take some time to get used to the two-banana swing arm though.  |

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

I had a brief email or two with him about 6 months ago. He's still on Guam. Still has the 1198 and rides it plus I think he has some sort of supermoto. |

Been talking about that thing on the main board for a while now. Good find on the video though. And yes, I'm stealing it. http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=65926.0 |

Outstanding sunset from our side of the island tonight. Really clear & crisp. You'd never believe that it was thundering & lightning earlier.
