I chose black but would go tricolore if it didnt have that goldy coloured strip on the tank

'Ducati Red': A georgeous colour that 'sets the scene' when you approach your little beauty for a little fun.

Must admit, the black is also very stunning - but I'd rather have the red so that there is a better chance of being seen by the myopic masses in their tin cans...

The tri colour idea is OK but there is somthing not quite right, for a start the green is closer to British racing green, too dark for the Italian national colours, the gold bit? well ?
Did they just think of this 2 days before the show ?
Black for me also

Thumbs up

Thank you all for voting - Cheers.

As I expected red is the most popular colour at the moment and black a close second.

IMHO when a customer is spending almost £14k on a motorcycle and maybe hundreds or thousands on accessories, I think a choice of colours, within reason, should be available.

As I stated at the beginning of this thread, I like red but really wanted a black 1098S. Obviously if I wish, I could have the bike sprayed black at my expense, but why should I, I'm not buying a Honda C90 (They're available in several colours !!), for me and I'm sure for many others £14k is an awful lot of money to spend on a car let alone a bike.

Ducati has produced a spectacular super bike being the 1098, however quite frankly to make it available in red only is IMO a cop out. Some of the 1098's predecessors were available in other colours, mainly black and yellow, why doesn't this apply with the 1098?

To quote Twinfan:

Lord help us. The designer is a chav, and an Aprilia rider at that...
If the above statement is genuine and judging by the associated poll, silver has not received one vote, if the 1098 designer had his choice of colour (silver) this would have been truly unpopular.

For me it would be the Tri-Colore. One of the origins in race history.

My £0.02 of wisdom.

Red for me, but i will not be rushing out and ordering one, i test drove my car before i bought i test rode the missues, and i will wait to test ride this model before parting with any cash. loads of people on here commented after test rideing the 749\999 that they would not want one simply following a test ride. So i will wait and reserve judgment, untill then my 996 and 999R are good enough.
