Very RSV-like in its dimensions. Surprised at the SSS; everything I had read said they were going to a DSS.

Yes, and that is a good thing. Endurance racers love the ducs for the ease of changing the tyres. Besides, it's just plain cooler looking. If they're ditching the Dru Clutch and the trellis, you have to at least keep the SSS. Th purists would set fire to bologna otherwise. I like it. The engineering behind it sounds awesome. The geometry changing possibilities with that swinger are amazing, it would be so easy to tailor the bike to each track. I wonder if they're gonna try for mass centralization with the exhaust, that would be tits. I cant wait for november. |

There's one in every crowd.  (One who cares about his butt more than performance, that is.) |

It's a Ducati superbike. Pain is part of the deal. Sweet, sweet pain  |

There's one in every crowd. (One who cares about his butt more than performance, that is.)I'm not saying I wouldn't ride the piss out of it. It just looks somewhat awkward. Then again the only superbike I've ever ridden was a 749 and that was only for a few short miles. And if I cared about my butt that much, I would shave it.....but let's not get off track |

If this bike is much better than Checa's ride, Ducati will be lapping the field next year.

Looks pretty cool from what can be seen. Hopefully it has it's own identity though...as the tail looks a lot like the RSV4 tail...just like the current SBK's tail looked a lot like the MV F4 tail.
The seating position looks a bit awkward, but that may just be the looks.
