I'm assuming, for the moment, that the particular yellow showing up in the picture is the fault of lighting.
My guess is it'll be the same shade of yellow Ducati has been painting things for 20+ years. Which, in fairness, is a pretty good shade.

the color combo's i would love to see it in is one like the current 848evo, red frame/wheels and matte white plastics.
barring that, the other would be the senna colors... dark grey plastics and red wheels/frame.
the new monsters have a spoiled me a bit though... now its kind of annoying thinking of bike color combinations and knowing that you cant as easily switch around the colors if you get bored of what you have currently.

would be sweet if they make SF796. lower seat and slightly higher bar.
Agreed on the lower seat...33" on the existing Streetfighter is too tall for my short inseam. |

I stand corrected on the topic of what yellow Ducati paints things. They have the yellow they've been using for 20-something years, and the somewhat orangier yellow they used in the 60s and 70s and then tracked down cans of again for their retro bikes.  |

Me wants!!! So it might have been a good thing that I did not buy an 1100evo. I would need to buy it in the US then ship it down to Chile.

I think SF848 will hurt the SF1X98 sales more than the SBK848.

Now they're the laughingstock of the motorcycling community. As lonf as ducati keeps the desmo, it shouldn't be a problem anyways.
double-  Doing away with the high maintenance costs of the desmo might bring more sales, IMO (might bring me back for one). After all, valve spring metallurgy has come a long way. And then you'd be able to buy hot cams from scads of suppliers, rather than the odd few. Put in timing chains while you're at it also. |
