OK, just supposing I wanted to buy a 1098 does anyone know the lead time ?

I've been told today that Ducati are insisting on all shops (worldwide) having at least 1 demo bike so the first few hundred, 500 I was told, will be going to the shops.

Private buyers may have to wait until March or April 2007 to get a new bike and not an ex-demo bike.

The above came from a mate who has one on order and expected it before Xmas.
