The U.S. price - $14,995 for the base model (the one in the pic) a $3000 drop ($19,995 for the S model, the Tri-colore $24,995)
The Canadian price $19,995 a $5000 drop ( S model $24,995 Tri-colore $29,995)

based on those drops it should come in from $21995 to $23995 here
BUT, who knows ???.

Intersting to see if the 749 continues. If it does, what price will it be?
Will it eat into other segments of ducati?
Could be up against the S4Rt or even S2R1000.

That'd be nice...under 25k for a 1098!!!!

But I reckon it'll come in at a little more than an Aprillia RSV-R for the base 1098 model, so maybe about 27-28k. Sign me up...and sign my life away!

Damn that is one fine looking bike, imho of course

 

[Juzzie]

Mneh Give me a 998R any day of the week. Looks like Ducati is trying to "find" themselves again.

 

[pepsduc]

sorry... dont like it :-\
at least the 749/999 was different and unique.
looks like ducati have recently employed a few Japanese stylists??

 

[s4grrr]

that looks great!! i'd rather a 1098 than a 999 any day, yeah, it looks like a more refined 916 but how can that be a bad thing? i mean, the japs have been copying that design for years now. oh, and i reckon the base model will be oh...........$29,990 +ORC.

 

[nitrox]

I like it.
Either way we will get ripped off.
I bet it will be 1.75 times the US price over here.
So I say $26350 + ORC here.
I'm spending $50 on the C spanner to adjust my chain and they are half that in the US.

What's going to happen to 749/999 second hand prices if the 1098 comes out at approx 25ish grand? Might soon be time to get a 749 track bike! [thumbsup]

Just asked this in the General Monster 1098 thread, but does anyone know if there is a 749 replacement in the 1098 design?

 

[Juzzie]

All I can say is ducati needs Tamburini.

No 749.
The SuperSport is also gone.
Maybe next year for a 749.
