I picked up my '05 999 for $5,000.  (in '05 they put the "S" motor from '04 in the base model Evil)

Actually no. . . they just switched where they measured the hp output and got a bigger number. 

Also, there's a sweet 999 in the classifieds with an excess of bad assness Grin

Kev, I want that bike.  But...  I'd have to trade you a Sport Classic with equal amounts of bad assness for it.

According to Duck-Stew and the little "S" that shows up on the display when I turn the key, I've got the "S" motor in it...  But who knows, maybe they're wrong.   Huh?


That being said, it's still got more power than is useable on the street, and it's comfier than a 998.  Wink

Your bike says "S" when you turn the key?  Never heard of that (on a base model)

Im going by what DucVet told me. . .

The '05s and later did have the deep sump motor.

Still want yours Kev.   Cheesy

I just sold my 09 1100S monster and bought a 2011 848 Evo. It's more then enough bike for the street (or track for that matter). Great bike.

Ya, when I first turn the key, the display shows 999[/b with the "s" next to it... 

I thought I remembered seeing/hearing/reading something about the hot motor in the biposto only coming in the gloss black?  But that's most likely just my imagination..  Wink

Don't know why they'd do that when red is the faster color.  Sometimes Ducati just does things that don't make sense.

848 hands down.

I personally think liter bikes are pushing it, and anything over a liter is just gross.

I've been riding an 848 for 13,000 miles. Got enough time on the bigger motors too. If you have lots of traffic and tight twisty roads then the 848 is the bike. Wide open spaces & roads less traveled, wider corners, then the 1198. Keep in mind that the 1198 is a very serious machine and may possibly be one of the overall harder bikes to ride that you could get. Beware of that siren song.  Dolph

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

For me i think the 848 would be enough...might not even be able to maximize it  Grin

I'd have to go with the 848evo...dark of course.  But I don't think I could sell my Monster.  Hey... I just paid off my car... maybe I should get another bike?
