Re: Ducati 1098 First Rides
What are they going to do about fielding a Superbike team? Are they going to change the rules to allow it in?

They'll be running the 999 in 2007, with hopes of getting the displacement for twins bumped to 1200cc for 2008. At least that's the way I've understood the rumor mill.

I'm very seriously considering selling my 1000rr and getting the new 1098.

Re: Ducati 1098 First Rides
I'm interested in the 1098, but not until it's a known/proven quantity. I know someone who bought a 999 and it went back to Ducati for being a POS.

Re: Ducati 1098 First Rides
Beautiful bike! I loved the 916/996/998, but like many, I never warmed up to the 999. What's the difference in the models? I see the S version has better suspension and wheels. Does the Tricolore have the better suspension bits, too, or is that extra high cost for the graphics and the Termi pipes?

You got it... Not worth it to me. I don't even like the tricolore version.

Yeah, you are right... I don't think people are choosing between those two bikes


PS, did you see your photo in my post in the hello section?
