I'm not so sure how long of a wait it might be for an ST 1098.  One of the dealers in town was saying it was in the works and would be part of the lineup (2010 I think he said  Headscratch ).
Don't know if it's true, but one would think the dealers would have some clue.  Still overkill in my opinioin.

A question for the multi 1100 folks.  Is that the same engine as in the hypermotard?  

I rode the hyper and really didn't like it's torque curve.  I kept hitting the rev limiter which just didn't seem right on a Ducati.  Sure it had low end grunt, but the thing cut out before you even got to the top end.  I wouldn't want that on a road going bike unless it's a thumper.  Lol

I noticed that too about having to shift every 5 seconds. I think that was the gearing.

That is one nice bike, love the color combo.



Not a 1098-based Monster, but some spy shots of a Monster 1100.
