I'm liking this bike more and more.  At first I didn't think this bike looked "special" enough and still preferred the 999's interesting looks, but seeing the 1098 in these action shots, well, I have a new lust  Inlove

Ducati's big 1098 V2 is stunning and powerful but why not wait for the new and improved 1200???

Lol I remember when my NC30 was daily rider. It had spongy early nineties brakes and I took a 749 out for a test ride. I damn near looped the thing because I wasn't used to up to date brakes.
