Haven't ridden the 1199 but riding like it's bigger brother is usually a good thing, has anyone here had a chance to hop on the 1199?
I say on the 899 and 1199 back to back at the MC show last year and didn't find any noticeable dimensions in their sizes besides the weight.Not me, but spoke to a tester who went to the test ride at Valencia, he said it felt much more compact than the 1299 plus easy to manouver.
I sat on a 1299 today, will see once the 959 arrives and will compare them once together.
They say it felt like a 600cc but with more power.So more compact than the 1299 and as maneuverable as the 1199?
Yea right... they can't do it profitably in cars bellow $150K no way they can make it fly on bikes.Now that's what I like to hear, that 600 nimbleness. Now they just need to hurry up with carbon fiber frames to cut weight, can't wait for those days to eventually be here.
It will take a while if it ever happens, for now we'll probably see one off bikes done like that.Yea right... they can't do it profitably in cars bellow $150K no way they can make it fly on bikes.
Besides, they give almost no feel if you believe VR46![]()
Here's the video embedded for easier viewing:http://youtu.be/H-JLP3eCMSA
In German, but worth checking it out as they show the bike as I've not seen it before.![]()
Thx! Hehe, forgot to use this feature.
Will do, better than just having visuals.1000PS is one of the best. you can change the CC to english and get this gist of what they're talking about.. (kind of ahaha)
