"Important to note: as it stands today, this machine is not legal for WSBK racing."
that's interesting, do you think they will change the rules to accomadate it? I know they originally wanted 1200cc... |

| Re: 1098 I think it looks great. Only thing I don't like is the fake monocoque subframe. Just paint the real one red and leave that part naked. |

| Re: 1098 Nice looking bike.
I did not see in the article if it was to be a V twin or not. The 160 HP # has me thinking it would be an inline. Anybody know? |

| Re: 1098 So the 1098 is going to be cheaper than the 999? Hmm maybe Ducati is getting the idea that they can make more profit if they priced their bikes more reasonably. |

| Re: 1098 I liked the 999. i'll wait and see this one in person.
I like single sided swing arms but i thought they went to the two sided due to the racing program insisting on it. anyone see a 675 in that duc? |

They're still gouging Canadians unfortunately. Guess they can kiss their 11 or 12 sales goodbye.  |

That is far better looking than the 999, but still goofy. |

| Re: 1098 So what. The big news is fashion night on December 2.
Actually, I do like the looks of this. After contemplating a BMW for 17,000 or so, 14,900 seems pretty cheap. Only I don't see me doing a cross-country trip on one. |

| Re: 1098 Shorter stroke than the 999 and revs to 12 grand. She's gonna be peaky. I'm a bit skeptical of their 380lb weight claim.  |
