Ducati 1098 - "official" pictures

fasterdammit · **Posted:** Wed Nov 08, 2006 4:18 pm

, here are a couple leaked-but-official pictures of Ducati's forthcoming 1098:

Looks like the nosecone is the marriage of the Desmosedici RR and the 998. I'm missing the bargeboards

but the rear end sure is nice looking. Those stupid blinkers are going to be the first thing to go on every bike sold as they get integrated into the taillights (which I really like) ... I think Ducati specifically designed the brakelight so people would ditch that plateholder unit.

Personally, I'm not sure what to think of the airrunners under the headlights, but I like the integrated turn signal/mirrors. (I bet the S model get color matched units.)

And lucky for me ... a new Ducati dealer just opened up about 40 minutes north of me (Fulton NY)! :punk

GREAT,
but I want to see it at the dealer.
So, the front headlights seem to me a little bit the Honda CBR ones and the rear lights the MV Agusta F4 ones.

Finally, we can forget the ugly 999 :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny:

The taillights remind me of the newer Aprilia Mille bikes.

I like the look better than the 749/999 bikes, but those sure have grown on me over the years.

mixing old (tank & swingarm from 916/996/998 series) and new (fairings).... :confused: To my eyes, seems, that hole bike is "bent" from middle" :confused:

It's definitely offical now:

Beautiful, but do you think that the 916 has been showed 13 years ago?

I've seen the 1098 in milano expo two weeks ago and... What to say? It's nice, but I'm too mutch in love with paso design to appreciate any other bodywork!
I think I'll better save money for a naked like

It will take me quite a long time to have enough €€€ to buy it, but... I can still dream it! :cool:

Finally it's true. It looks too much like other bikes even if I read it is a very, very fast bike, much more than the 999.

So, despite I don't like too much the supermotards, I'm starting to appreciate the Hypermotard...

It don't look like no other.
