Welcome mate, not ridden an 899 but have ridden a 1299S, Pani's are beautiful but the S1000 will be much more comfortable and practical, will handle at least as well and have stellar performance v your current bike - buy one!

I'm up in Aberdeen. I had a shot of a mates one last night hence why I'm on here looking for info on them...... I cant believe how small the it felt - in a good way. I just always assumed a bike like that would feel big.
The Duke looks compact but is actually quite roomy for me. Its pretty well sorted and has BST carbon wheels, KTec rear shock, rebuilt front shocks, Termi's and some cosmetics. Always wanted a Ducati and I love it but the BMW was comfier and better over the bumpy roads we have up here. Its definitely the next bike for me!

Welcome along

The 899 is beautiful, but the S1000RR more capable on the road. Get one with all the options you can, they are easier to resell at a later date...and of going for a 2015+...who doesn't like Cruise Control?!

Must admit Alex I never ever in a million years thought I'd like cruise control on a bike but its handy as hell through the villages.. lol
