Thank God, more power. Those embarrasingly slow 1098's couldn't even get out of their own way.
[laugh] NOT!
Oh well, as soon as I can get everything out of my 999 (hell, f#$^ng 620 for that matter!), I'll start thinking about a 1098 [bang] Shoulda started riding when I was twelve I guess...
In the mean time, mo power is always mo betta [evil]
I saw that too. No telling who his source is but I wouldn't think that guy would spout off if he didn't know for sure. woohoo....
Nice, so Ron are you going to get a RS?
I need pictures in order for this to be exciting .

Only if my race sponsor provides me with one. If anybody knows one please send them my way. Will race for beer.
how about a beer for a sponsor? tell rich to have the guys at miller give you a call!!! then you get free beer and the sponsor [thumbsup]
If the displacement increase is the only major change, then I could care less. If they add traction control to the S I will be displeased.
If the 1098 really displaces 1198 cc's, will the 1198 really displace 1298 cc's?

That would be sweet. We could do a Miller LSD DMF DOC AMS BMF endurance team. AMS could get us free tires and brake pads and leathers and do our bike prep.
and taking his first podium of the year is ron ????? rider of the MILLER LSD DMF DOC AMS DUCATI !! so ron how did you pull off that amazing pass to come home on the podium and was tire wear at all a problem out there for you guys today?
I hope to see some trickle down parts from the R bikes. It'd be trick to get DTC [thumbsup], but I think my wallet would hate me for it.

Hey sorry but I have to talk to Greg White first. He wants to ask me which company makes Ducatis.

Scott, when the 1198's come out, I'll take your slow, antiquated, outdated 1098S off your hands. How about $100 bux?
First Apple with the iPhone, now Ducati with the 1x98.

Maybe it's just about rebranding the 1098R to a 1198(R).

Have you checked ebay lately, I saw a red 1098s in KY for 15K buy it now and another 1098s for like 16k. I think both had less than 2000 miles.
i'm going to call up dairyland sometime this week and see what insurance for me would be on a 1098s. i'm sure it's very lol.
though i could really use a second bike as a placeholder for my nice shaded parking spot.
