Ahh unique! That makes me feel better cheeky

Unlike those bloody 848's ... Ducati's most popular middleweight ever ... which happens to have just as much power and about 30kg less weight - but they aren't as 'unique' right? laughingdp

Betty it seems to me you are presenting yourself as a bit of conundrum now - anarchist/non conformist, and yet you have displayed a deep seeded desire to confirm, and yet have a 'unique' bike! Grin

Now in regards to the 848 may I make a suggestion:  From the photo displayed it seems Jukie is of a smallish frame and may not have the physique to truly manhandle a 'unique' bike like that. Also there is the safety aspect in the unfortunate event that the bike is laid down whilst riding she may not be able to pick it up. SO, an 848evo is lighter and slightly smaller in stature than the 999, and may be the perfect addition to your newly acquired superbike family.  Then she too could join you on latte rides as this bike would also have a lot of ticks in boxes (except dry clutch and high maintenance) for the conforming crowd.

Just trying to help..... Grin waytogo laughingdp

I am always in conflict, just ask anyone of me.

Seat height is the big issue with the 848 ... actually much higher than the 999 despite the weight saving.

Besides she doesn't need any more power ... on her day she has been known to menace more than the odd Superbike with the 620.

I am also tempted to bring up financial constraints but on this board that is effectively soliciting advice on some retarded form of cost/benefit analysis ... so I won't
