| Quote: | This is Ducati proprietary dealer info, NOT rumor or speculation! Straight from the 08/24/06 dealer meeting... I saw the packet with pics and specs!
Have paper pics only; none in jpg, etc. to post. Source wanted me to see them, but not post them. I will try to get some in an uploadable format.
All models have a 1099cc engine, but are designated 1098 (for fear of association with the IRS 1099 tax form - REALLY!).
Three Models-
$14,995 - 1098 Base: 160hp/80+tq
$19,995 - 1098S: adds carbon bits and Ohlins suspension pieces
$24,995 - 1098 Tri-Colore: adds race exhaust in the crate, red/white/green three-color paint
(Pricing is preliminary and may change slightly)
Styling somewhat similar to Desmosedici RR, but with longer, sharper front fairing and featuring dual headlights; New dash design; Single-sided swingarm; Dual oval underseat exhaust; Weight reduction of 37.5 pounds; Monoblock radial-caliper brakes w/330mm discs.
All 1098 models will come configurable as mono and biposto. Base model outperforms 999R!!
Ducati will NOT campaign the new bike for the coming AMA season; instead skipping a year for potential rule changes.
Official debut will be at Milan in November, with deliveries expected to begin in February.
My 1098S is pre-ordered with deposit. Ducati will NOT guarantee all orders, because of demand vs. supply issues on NEW production model. Get it locked in early if you want one. |
I cant wait till november, better get saving

see those picture before, its just a tempory fairing while they were testing it.
Hopefully it will look like the Desmo RR, and a Twin making 160+ HP as standard will be fun.
Just hope the base model is under £10,000.
