| [quote=wilf]Well said,
NO dealers have seen the new bike yet, I am in regular contact with the guys at a main Ducati store in the US and they have had no more info than the european dealers.
With photos flying round the world in seconds nowadays, do you think that if there was a 1098 in the USA being shown arround it would stay covered up???
Its just a case of "you heard it here first"
Whatever will be, will be.
But I am looking forward to the 1098 (as a dealer whos livelihood depends on it!)
Lets simply look at the facts;
1.I'm only repeating what a principal at a ducati dealer in Texas TOLD me.
2.There,s no mention of the bike being in the USA,lets assume that he may have seen this in......Italy.
3.Without naming names,I've spoke to a ducati dealer in this country who says he's seen the bike (in Italy), so some people are getting previews......unless their telling porkies.
Call me sinical, but the introduction of a new model,if its to be belived about the performance,weight reduction and the aesthetics will create high demand.....this will only be good stick to be used by dealers to tell us how "they canrn't give us good money for our 999/749". Its happened before.  |
