Now the new 1098 is revealed, it looks like the S4RS's stay with us will be a short one.

So, there's one in the garage that's been anally fastidiously fawned over with goodies galore.

Wannit?

blimey, it took almost a whole day for this thread to appear. Rod's obviously not as keen on the 1098 as i thought.

Seriously though, i'm not that keen on the 1098765... the 'next' bike is always going to be more powerful and i thought he wanted to get out of the wrist killer bikes and onto something he could use around the place???

Actually heÃ*s been bouncing off the walls since he got home from work!

He wants another sportsbike. He wants, he needs.

Well I'm not surprised and I don't blame him - whatever bike lights your fire you simply have to have - tis rude not to and why die in credit anyway??? I'm really intrigued by the new bike and can't wait to see it in the flesh, I mean your garage.....Seriously though - I'd really like a ride of the S4Rs before it goes - even if it is round the block!!!!!:hail:

No that's not it!

This is it...

There is a video on www.ducati.com, and click on the main picture up top.

Rod is intending on being up all night watching this thing in a loop. As much as I love him, I'M GOING TO BED!

I still prefer the 916

the front end is far too much like a CBR for my liking. Tail looks good from the front but from the back its like the old 999 tail with an extra bit glued on and why they couldn't have made the tail and cans a better fitting join i'll never know. Oh well, its still pretty and will thrash the arse off the japs next year.

Erm am I being picky or what? Is it me or could they have done something a little better with that weld on the swing arm? It looks as if it's been scarred for life after a major incident...

But apart from that it look lovely Rod can I have a go please can I, can I?

Make a great track bike though. I predict you'll be able to pick up an early 749/999 for few grand before too long...

You should see the bunfight going on on the other channel between the die hard 916 fans and the 999 owners !!!
