This is the 999's replacement! Not the Very Pricey Desmodici RR.
Pricing will be similar to the 999.

"That thing has gotta hook up like nobodies business! "
So does a common modded ZX-10R...and costs much less...nice Ducari.. but been there ,done that .. on a Kawasaki ... if ya must then buy..
I see no reason to buy..if I was a multi millionaire then maybe...rather mod existing ZX-10R more if performance is any issue..is it?
matter of preference me thinks.. Kawasaki is holding it's own very well...

The new 1098 starting price is going to be 15,000.00. Thats less then the 999s by 7,000.

The new 1098 is a beautiful bike! It is nice to see that Ducati is offering a viable competitor at a reasonable price. Ducati is making some pretty heady claims though, that I wonder if they can actually deliver on. They claim 381 lbs which is incredible, considering that the 999R with carbon fairings and all was 399 lbs. I highly doubt the wet weight figures will be under 400 lbs.
The "real world" wet weight number of the 999R was closer to 457 lbs wet. All things being equal, the 1098 would be amazing enough if it could eclipse the '04 ZX-10R's wet weight of 433 lbs for a 1100cc twin!
The 160 horsepower figure is also given as a crank number. Again still awesome, as the 999R's were rated at a heady 150 hp and dyno'd in the high 130's. I am sure that a higher spec "1098R" version (or the rumoured 1200cc) could be in the160 rwhp range.
I am not taking anything away from the 1098. It is truly amazing what Ducati has done. They're basic 1098 will in essence outperform the highest spec version of their previous bike at a price lower than the basic 999. Now that's progress!
Now who would like to see Kawi follow the same lines and build a new ZX-10R that is the price of a ZX-6R, that makes 180 rwhp and 410 lbs wet?

I would just like to see another company make a twin as competitive as the 1098S at a competitive price. I really like twins because of the rumble, narrow lines, and narrow feel. On another note of beautiful bikes Mv Agusta is going to race its F4 in AMA next season. I hope they do well.

Ego machines at best.. They do look nice and all but the guys I have known that owned them in the past have nothing good to say about them.. In fact they all say the same thing.. Statis symbol

I thinking about getting one but, I will never sell my 10r. Shame on you for even thinking of selling your 10r. How much did you say you wanted for your 10r.

The 999R put 148 rwhp w/ the pipe & chip so why would this not pull 160 w/ the same?

That's a pretty shallow outlook on it! But, different strokes for different folks. I ride my bikes because they make me feel good, got all kinds & when I'm in the mood to ride that particular one I take it out & enjoy it 100%! It's not about brand or style or status symbol for me!
