I've got exactly the same 'problem', no idea what I want. The Ducati 2019 launch might be interesting on the 4th November, as hopefully there will be a smaller v4, but I doubt it. I may move away from sportsbikes, but want something that tours well (and as you know the 899 tours really well, I have the SW motech blaze panniers for luggage and its a great combo.) I may go full 'old fart' mode and get an RT, it feels like an itch I need to scratch but I'm sure I will regret not having such an engaging bike as the 899.
I tried the new GS1250 and really liked it, and have lined up a demo of the 1250RT in November once the dealer has the bike in.
Great problems to have, the bike fund is looking healthy but I'm just reluctant to change to something I will like less. I had thought about keeping mine as a sunny day bike as the mileage will put people off but not sure I fancy the running costs of multiple bikes (already have a little scooter for commuting). I did have ideas about the V4S Panigale, but the insurance was over £2K and I'm just not paying that.
RBW.
*edited* Colleague has a tuono (well 2, as first one was pinched), and they are lovely and sound great. I wouldnt want a naked bike as my sole bike though.

What are you fancying then RBW ?
Biggest problem I have with the Ducati is what to replace it with, it’s such a hard act to follow?
I had a test ride this week on an Aprilia Tuono 1100 V4 Factory.....wow!, absolutely brutal, could be tempted??
