Ducati Panigale 899 … i must be getting old.

I recentrly received this 899 from a friend … for free … as usual 🙄, guess all my friends think i’m a poor man 🤔actually i am 😔.

The 899 is the least powerfull of the Panigale family, replaced a few years ago by the 959 and now the V2.
There is also offcourse the first Panigale, the 1199, followed by the 1299 and most recently the bonkers V4 with power from 214 to 234 hp.

The 899 only has 150 hp 🤣, more than enough to kill yourself several times to be honest. Imagine 150 hp for a bike that weighs around 180 kilos or maybe 270 kilos with me and the petrol on board … thats like 750 hp for a Porsche Cayman or a VW Golf.

So the main purpose i’m using it for is to visitfriends and clients who live in the city so i can park in front of their door…. Even though some friends also gave me the keys to their houses and garage where i can park my car or even my van.

Well, at least i don’t have tospend any of my own money to enjoy the thrills of motorcycling, can’t wait for the MV Agusta arriving in a couple of months … for free 😁.

Bim … actually: cheap Bim

It is a F3 800 cc. I already had a small go on it, but it’s now at the dealer for some upgrades. Cool bike and nice engine … but nowhere near as characterful like a Ducati to be honest.

Probably a titanium exhaust.

Easily saves 5 or more kilos.

That's it. Around 5 kilos.

But I was always a Duc fan. My bike got totaled due to a negligent SUV driver. I will ride again, and it will most likely be a Ducati. Maybe a Monster. Enjoy your rides. Beautiful bike👍

Same here.

Always been a Ducati fan but started with a CBR600f2 back in 1993, followed by A Bimota YB9 in 1997 but in the mean time riding any Ducati imaginable. From 2001 till 2007 all was very quiet for me at the bike scene. From 2008 onwards i started riding Duca...
