The dealer in Northampton MA confirmed and is slashing prices on 1098's. They also gave a projected delivery dat of Jan 09. I am curious whether this is simply a 1098 with a over bored engine or if it has chqanges to ergo and chassis as well. I am half thinking of selling off the 999 and steping up.

I think it would be cool if they built the 1198 with the 848 wet clutch. Not that it matters... It's a Ducati
Actually, I rode with an ST4s the other weekend and never realized it had a dry clutch. The owner said he put in a special spring kit that kept the plates from rattling, and that you could only hear it when he held the clutch in (in gear).

Would mention this is a photoshopped imaged. It's a 1098. Note the bright "11"98. There is an 1198 coming, but details other than the bigger bore are scant. Announcement in a few weeks at Eicma. Have seen the dealer order form. Deliveries of the 1198 and 1198s will be begin Jan/Feb. Colors include the pearl white of the 848 and black. MSRP for the 1198 is ~ $16,495 and $21,795 for the 1198s. There is no 1098R. A one time thing. There is a 1098 based "Streetfighter" coming. Looks like a cross between the Hyper and Monster. Summer '09. $14,995 base, and $18,995 S Model. |

That streetfighter could be interesting.

Yep. Doesn't look half bad. I think that Ducati might just have won me back to its fold with that thing. I haven't owned a Duck since 1992, but anything is possible.
