And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

I like it!  ............  Especially the orange wheels and the 300 lbs dry.   But,  I like the 690 Duke a bit better.  Either one would do me fine on Tantalus!

I laughed, as there's no chance in hell that I'd buy one.

Yes, but that's the only good aspect about it in my eyes.

Really?  What's got you in a snit about it?  It's a bit pricey I'll grant you but if they have the formerly oversprung suspension worked out it's be all right IMO. I can even live with the dual sided swing arm but I would really like to see one in person before rendering a final judgement.  All that said I'm still leaning towards the big SF or a KTM if I do anything else.

Price is one aspect, but the biggest kill joy in my eyes is the fact that it's heavier than the 1199.  The 848/1?98 equation wasn't quite as cut and dry seeing how the smaller model weighed less, but now?  I just don't see the point in buying a bike with less power AND more weight to fight.

Steady now.  I've done a bunch of homework.  Yes, the 899 is slightly heavier than the 1199.  Only slightly and that would be due to the double swing arm and the fact that there is more engine metal because the cooling jackets haven't been cut back to allow for the larger bore size.  Same thing happened with the 848. The engine was slightly heavier than the 1098 and the 1198 engines because metal weighs more than air.   ;D

Now I can go into detail but the wine makes me want to go to sleep.  Point being that, while I may not want to go out and get one, the 899 is no slouch.  Want a heavy, under powered sled that still doesn't handle? Then go for a 748.  Oh, it looks good but all that it's good for is showing up at Starbucks.   [laugh]  The 996 isn't much better either.

More later.........

Don't forget, 1199 tank is alloy where the 899 tank is steel.  That's going to be a fair amount of difference right there, and just about as high as you can get in relation to the COG.  Basically ruins the concept of mass centralization.
