999 My First 999s

Discussion in '749 / 999' started by Gabagool, May 24, 2020.

  1. Hi all

    Acquired this beauty yesterday from Mid Essex motorcycles. Only done 3k miles. I have a 899 panigale and can’t believe the difference (I know it’s 17 years old) aiming to do about 100-200 miles a year on it :):)

    Paid £8995

    Mine is the later model, above. Any 999S mono is easy worth 9k in good order I would suggest. They are equally worth 998 money, even if the wider market has not caught on yet!

  16. lovely lovely lovely :)

    What differences as a Ducaudi owner do you notice?

    Its always interesting to get the view of someone that has them back to back and that came to a bike from the new to the old rather than the other way around :)

    That would look lovely with a set of Migiore chain adjusters on it by the way ;)
     
  17. Haha what are those?! Lol
    To me the main different is the way it pulls away - 899 is so much more smooth. haven’t ridden the 999 out of first gear yet, so yet to know the other subtle differences :)
     
  18. Thanks man!
