Just picked up my first bike, a '99 900s and I am excited as hell.
wondering if a 900 is too much bike for me, just plain nervous.

Congratz! Sounds like a good deal on a great bike!!!
A little nervous is OK. Take it slow. And no, a 900 is not too much. You'll soon grow into it

Hey Mojo,
Just so you know, you have a set of full floating cast iron rotors on the front and your rear caliper set up is is from a 900 SS SP. Looks like someone upgraded your brakes. Good find and enjoy your bike. 

Congrats on the new bike

But ya can't stay around here unless you get the fork reflectors back on.......

I had Wiley Co. Carbon Fiber cans on my '99 M750 that sounded pretty good.  Never could find info on them though

I found the website...http://www.wileyco.co.uk/en_uk/index.htm.  There isn't much for info on the site, but I am happy with the way they sound on the bike, and seem to be a tad cheaper than Aarows or Termis.  The best part is... I didn't have to pay for them

I just figured that the upgraded brakes were part of the "S" package, but maybe I'm wrong since I'm a noob

Again, I may be a noob here, but one thing I do know is that reflectors are usually the first thing to go into the garbage can.


Thanks for the comments guys.  I'm really liking the bike, it seems to fit me good, and I've already gotten a few nice comments about it.  I was out riding yesterday, and I stopped by my Snap-On dealer's house and when he saw tank decal, he said "man you must be making some good money cuz Ducati's are really expensive".  I didn't really correct him about my 10 year old,$3500 bike.
