I got him down to £8500 on a PCP finance deal before the panic set in and I had visions of divorce!

It's absolutely spotless, looks like the owner had a toothbrush fetish and if the dealer had told me it was brand new I would have believed him. Even the brake discs looked like they'd never touched the pads.

Anyway I ran out clutching my credit card!

It does look pretty though.!

You know you want to.

They are lovely bikes. I had a good look at one last year. Not sure how that compares to a new 899 cost, but a fabulous bike. Do it!

Think I'm going to just not on a PCP, which means back to waiting till April. Not like theres much winter biking in Buxton anyway, so I'm not missing much.

That seems sensible enough. You can organise a local rideout to show off your new toy to make up for missing this year's event

That seems a good idea. Could you give him some ££ and they keep it until April mothballed for you? If it's the one you want?

Very nice you must have good will power to resist

Not at all, have you met my wife?

Nah, I have a sneaky suspicion there's going to be a lot of low mileage never seen daylight 848s traded in for the 899

I've got a lot of biking making up to do, the last 3 years have been pants. Bet I haven't done much more that 1k a year

I reckon you could pick up one nearly as nice for a fair bit less, Monty. That sort of money they are asking could buy a Corse SE version.

I reckon you're right, but to be fair it really was a new bike the photos don't do it justice.

This is really nice too.

I think I prefer those in looks to a Panigale.

That 1098 is the schnizzle

I know what you are saying. The Panigale has a much more modern feel to it's handling though.

Think I'm getting a Duke, Duke. Recon that maybe Cornish's old bike. Same year, same can, same dealer service, similar mileage and same tyres. Plus he's owned a good percentage of every bike so it's quite probable!

I reckon you could talk them into doing this beauty for the same price now its end of the season

One of the best handling and looking Ducati's ever
