Look at the second last picutre, the silver thing on the inside of the wheel is the rotor and clearly on the inside.

As for the bike, I'm glad they're going back to SSS, it was something special that Ducati had. As for it costing a second or two around a track - no way, maybe a thousandth of a second or two but that's it. We're not talking about a few pounds here. The fact of the matter is that the race bikes really don't have the same parts anyway, sure they look the same but that's about it. For a street bike, the bling factor is important and well worth the tiny weight penalty.

If anyone can find the specs, I'd love to see the actual difference in weight between the SSS and DSS.
