899 Panigale...

The 899 is a sweet bike all over. The 848 was damn nice too! The only thing was once the road opened up you tended to get left in the dust. At least when we used to ride with liter bikes.  I'll bet the 899 is a whole lot easier to ride over Tantalus than an 1199/1299. But maybe not easier than my 1000R.

If I didn't know better, I would think that a gauntlet had been thrown down...

I like the sounds of that!   A few mods and she should be just about perfect for my liking.

I was merely offering up the premise that since the S1000R is easier to ride over Tantalus than my old 848 that it might well be easier than the 899 too. Since I have not been on an 899 I couldn't say for sure.  Not throwing down any gauntlets or anything. Seth was right, right on my tail the whole way the one time we rode up there.

I have never truly taken an 848 out for a ride but the little bit I have, I think the 899 feels better.
