Re: Ducati 1098
i dunno.* i like the way a sculpted DSS looks, like on the desmosedici.* something beefy and funcitonal about them.
but i hear you on the point of adjustment and wheel removal.

Re: Ducati 1098
Looks like they may be adopting a front end look more like the desmosedici, which I like. I'm sure the exhaust is not final, and the bodywork has a ton of tacked on crap to throw people off, but it has potential. Too bad I can't spend $20K on a bike :-[ .

Re: Ducati 1098
Doesn't look strange too me... It's the same process as for disguising a car prototype - black tape and garbage bags, possibly some tacked on bits to change the shape. I think its the real prototype.

Re: Ducati 1098
I definatly like where ducati is going.... I mean, I LOVE THE SWITCH BACK TO A SSS, AND JUST IMAGINE THE TORQUE FROM A 1098cc MOTOR?!?!! > 
also, that does look pretty real to me, I mean, its obvious that the bike is hidden under the cover of a messy 999 bodywork, but I am sure the final product will be awesome.....
and while the rear wheel hub may look similar to that of older sbk's, that is actually a new SSS with a wider, beefer midsection, like that of the MV agustas |

Re: Ducati 1098
If that bike had a MotoCzysz front suspension on it, I might be more excited.

"The "prototype black" color confuses a little the shapes, but the 1098 appears beautiful with nice lines. It stands out the SSS and the 2 cans"
