It also looks like on the "S" you get a different clutch cover....

i dislike the trellis frames that require gussets in the weld joints - the old school monsters don't have them, and a proper truss design shouldn't need them.  What is wrong with the new batch?

Higher hp engine, and perhaps they've lightened the frame tubing.
I must say I like the power to weight ratio 367 pounds even with ducati's historically optimistic scales, sounds nice.

The S also comes with traction control too I believe

that is sweet.  how many naked bikes have that?

[Spidey]

Ya know what's weird?  I'm a die-hard 2V monster guy.  But now that the 4V naked isn't a monster, I'd definitely rock it.  It just always thought the monster had to be 2v and that the 4V should be saved for a bike specifically designed with the SBK engine in mind.  And Ducati delivered.

S has standard traction control and street legal.    The 1098R traction is still technically not street legal because when it cuts the ignition it still squirts the gas so has emmissions issues...thus the Termi kit and ECU included to make it "track only"

Nice that they updated that.   (although for all I know it's a completely different system)


edit...looks like the 1098R traction control got modified this year to be street legal too.   and it's on the  1198S too.   YAY!

[Cucciolo]

I dunno, it's nice and all but for that kinda cash I'd rather have a SBK.  Riding an upright standard/naked bike is comfy and all but comfort goes out the window in 3 digit speeds. With the motor and weight this thing has it's gonna almost be impossible not to flog it every chance you get.

The traction control sounds great, could save your life.  [moto] 

Not so into the styling.  As was previously mentioned, too many creases.  

I like curves.
