Last night I read on the 1098-forum that
Ducati are listening to their customers and reading forums and polls in order to give Ducatisti a choice of colour.
This afternoon this was confirmed by Robert at
W.M.Snell who called me to confirm that I still wanted a black 1098S.
The base model 1098 will be available in yellow, I think with a black frame and the 1098S will be available in black with a red frame. Now where is the drool smilie.
The new colours are expected March.
This suits me fine as I'll have the colour (Black) I've wanted and waited for, most of the inclement weather should have passed, I'll have more money put aside, the bikes will have new registration and my 1098S will be run in just before going to Germany - What a result. I could kiss Minoli's ass, well maybe I wouldn't go quite that far.
