It’s laughable the hoops manufacturers of bikes are having to jump through to meet EU noise regs - but then they don’t measure noise whilst the machine is moving, so you can drive a monster 4x4 whose massive tyres make so much rolling noise that they make you wince as they go past at 30mph(not that drivers of those things ever do 30mph, but hey.)! Logical? you decide.Have to agree with Darren636 on that one. The pipes - no matter how you dress it up theyre awful and the side exit akra’s look like something out of chitty chitty bang bang. Definitely not for that bike. I can see the price off 899’s holding if not going up.they may as well ship it with the underslung akra’s as an apology in itself.Its time to call it a superbike.
It is what it is.
One Thousand cubic centimetres.
Its not a supersport.
Its not supersport power, it ain’t supersport money it ain’t supersport insurance.
Jeez.You’d think so right? I was expecting this when I first tested the 899.
Then you drive it for a while and ask yourself.what in gods name are those 899ccm doing? where is all the power going?
Really wantet the small Panigale to be my dream bike.but(and iam usualy drivng a CBF600!) it has way to little power for the price and specs in my opinion:)
