The new 1098
Anyone had a chance to sit on the new 1098? How does it compare in terms of ergos to the current liter bikes? I'm thinking it would be less comfortable then my 954.

Re: The new 1098
I would be afraid too. The result of such action would end in a divorce.

Re: The new 1098
I like the 954 over any tax form.

supposedly more comfortable than previous ducati sportbikes... Comparable to the other sport bikes out there.

Re: The new 1098
My wife told me to go buy one but I'm trying to be practical about this. I know, I know........ Just want to make sure I don't get rid of my 954 which I love and get something I'm not happy with. It has to be as comfortable as my 954 as I do long hauls.

Re: The new 1098
Your wife told you to buy a Ducati???
She probably thinks having you working in the garage is safer than having you riding around somewhere.

I'd make a good guess the Japanese stuff is more comfy when you're not charging.

My MV feels quite a bit like my 929 did after I set it up as a racebike. It's only a bit less aggressive.

The Italians typically make their ergos fully committed.

That's another reason why I want to wait year to see if the bike will have any reliability issues.

I think that may have been true in the past but I think this bike will be a bit different!

Re: The new 1098
Which would indicate it's still a rack.

It's all relative. Ride a road bike a bit, and any motorcycle feels like a couch.

I was always comfortable on my RC51, which others touted as a rack.

Can't you just run a fire sale on tonsillectomies or something?
