899 vs the blade. Firstly bike reviews are subjective and most bikes limits are beyond normal road use. I am currently riding cbr600f 2012 . The ducati 899 is a beautiful bike sounds nice. Its comfortable and riding its nice. The blade is smoother and gives better engine breaking. The 899 was for me to on or off. When eased iff tge throttle it seemed to brake quite hard. This could be due the elec settings or because its twin . The blade was a bike i wanted to stay on and really enjoyed.
Dobles are doing 5ys 0% on lots of new bikes at the moment including the Fireblade, Non ABS shown in the email I received.
