    Okay this is a perfect example of needing a general use section.

    Okay, just had to throw this out here, you probably all ready know about the Ducati 1098, but just had to say something, I mean this baby is soo Hot!

    Is this supposed to replace the 999? If so, does this thing fall in line with WSB rules on displacement?

    Like all Ducati super bikes, this thing looks like an ass-toasting torture rack.

    KC-10 FE out...

    Ducati sure does make beautiful looking bikes. As a piece of art I love them. Trouble is, my body just can't take riding them. I tried, oh how I tried, but after even a short ride I am in agony. Hence one of the many reasons I like my viffer.

    beautiful. i have been disappointed with some of their bikes' looks lately (multistrada, 999) but this one grabs me... unfortunately from what I hear of ducati ergos, I'm afraid of where it would grab me. :)

    An ST3 would be better

    I know, the 1098 is a dream bike, but shouldnt we be looking at the ST3?
    This is the Ducati answer to the VFR

    Does anyone know what theyre like, ridden one?

    I rode an 05 and an 06 and wasn't impressed ... it gave me chicken legs in short order (hot). I found the Futura moocho better and of course I bought a VFR ... go figure :) Both the VFR and Futura much smoother and the VFR of course ... silk ... do you think I'm a bit bias? But then again, if I had an extra 15 grand, that 1098 sure looks sweet! and the tri-color ... huuummmm ... break out the check book mamma!
