Stripped the indicators/mirrors and tail unit with number plate/indicators from my 899 and fitted some new super corsa's ready for the upcoming Ducati track days at Donnington and Silverstone in the next few weeks
Can't for the life of me work out how to disconnect the brake light though
Anyone else at Donnington on Tursday or Silverstone on 16/6?

I was sure my 899 would make a good track bike, but I just didn't like it
After the first session, where it was squatting under load and diving under brakes, I had the suspension set up by the Ohlins guys. It improved it, but it still wasn't great and felt quite vague in the corners
Oh well, I have the Silverstone Ducati day booked on June 16th, and then I'll sell it on
Anyone fancy a 2014 899 ?

Really surprised to read that as I want a 899 or F3 800 as my track bike next year. Currently on a trusted on GSXR750 which is actually pretty damn goodI was sure my 899 would make a good track bike, but I just didn't like it

It might be that the wheels weigh more than a car, but it just turns in so slowly and I found the back end to be really vague under power
I spoke with a couple of other guys about it as it was a Ducati day, and the general consensus was that if you want a Panigale track bike, you want either an 1199 or 1299
