6 MONTHS!!!! That does suck man. Hope you are at least up and around soon. Talk to you soon. Try to have a Happy Thanksgiving and don't get to fat while you're down. You don't want to weigh 250lbs like some other guy we know. LOL

Yea, thats the worst case scenario. Could be 3 months but, was told not to count on that, that would be best case scenario. Hey, you have a happy T-Day too & I don't have any plans on coming back at 250lb although I'm 230 now so who knows? I saw Dave & his nieghbor Frankie they were telling me about the race. You guys are fuckin funny! Glad to hear you won!

A 160 REAR wheel horsepower Ducati? Now i'll believe that only when I see it.
The 999R put 148 rwhp w/ the pipe & chip so why would this not pull 160 w/ the same?
Well, not sure if you have ever owned a twin before, but 12 rwhp is VERY hard to get. Even harder when you figure you're trying to get it over a well-tweaked design in the first place (e.g. the 999r).
I'd like to see Ducati prove me wrong, but I will only believe it once I see it!

Well, you gotta figure they bumped displacement 10%, if the 1098 is equally as effienct in making power(i.e. Bigger T-body, valves,more cam) as the 999r well there's your power. I Dyno tune all day long & completely respect true rwhp. When & if this puppy comes to my garage I'll let you know what she does once properly broken in.
