Yes but even so the difference between the two prices is HUGE. You can't write that all off to just one cause. Ducati stated that it's aim was to sell more and become more competitive, both on the track and in the showroom. I am not advocating they pile 'em high and sell 'em cheap, but they would do well to explain to their customers just how they can justify these extra costs. The American dealer network campaigned with Ducati to lower the MSRP of the 1098 range and GOT what they wanted. Let's us hope the UK dealer network and Ducati Coventry have the backbone to do the same or at least TRY to level the playing field. As consumers in the UK this sucks big time.
