er....that looks familiar ! LOL
Maybe it'll look better in the flesh but it just looks like a right mix-mash
I like the look of the front and side profile a lot, but don't like the twin underseat exhaust. It looks a bit dated to me.

or does it look rubbish.
I can't believe that Ducati would release something that looks so average, so am clinging to the hope that the real thing is being hidden away until show time and will blow us all away .......
PS I was stuned by the 999 when it came out, didnt like it but was stunned !
PPS Now i love my T9s :-)
There won't be so many good deals on 999s now if that is a true pic.....

Even with our Ducati Lurve goggles on, you have got to say that that looks like it was designed by a man going through a bitter divorce ....
Hope it looks better in the flesh as it looks like a cast off from the triumph 675 drawings ....

If its the real deal - the back end looks a lot better from the side than the front, but at least they've cleaned up the numberplate area - it looked a mess on the 999s. One of the reasons that the race 999s look much better IMO.

Best you had send your CV off to Bologna then as you clearly are better qualified than a design team who had the brief of catering to all the 916 purists and the 999 lovers, whilst still coming up with something fresh (no easy task I might add) and ask them to take on board your well founded criticism, assuming as you have that this IS the final version. I am sure they will welcome your input and an opportunity to please a myriad of people the world over simultaneously.

Rattler as ever you are the voice of reason. I salute you sir. Blimey some people are never pleased are they. Not saying I am totally in love with what I see but hell, we have not even seen it officially yet or for that matter in it's entireity. Speculation is a lot easier than the wait for the finished article and with less than a week to go it's rapidly becoming a pointless exercise.

Hmmm....have to agree with the comments about the swingarm. I'm just looking at it on the front cover of MCN and the swing arm looks almost like it could be a scooter engine :(
From the same front cover shot the exhausts look pretty awful too, almost as if they're stuck on as an afterthought - they certainly don't look nicely integrated with the tail unit. They look a bit cack on pages 2 & 3 as well, again, they almost look as if they're made for a different bike althogether and what's with putting the exhaust outlets at an angle like that? If the angle of the exhaust outlets mirrored the shape of the tail or something I could go with that, but at the moment they just look wrong....Ahhhh....I get it...the DP exhausts will probably look just right :lol:

Not exactly "fresh" if it's a mish-mash of 916, 999, MV and CRR600RR is it?
I'll stick with my 749S thanks :D

yep......................
Got MCN on the way up to MK thismorning
looks just like the pics I posted yesterday then.
What happened to the Milan secret unveilling then ???
Did Bologna bottle it with all the leaked photos ??
IMHO
still not sure I like it, bit too "bitsa" for me
not sure it's a new design ? looks like a bit of a combo job
front nose looks way too jap and I've only just got away from all that !!
maybe it will look better in the flesh ?!
guess I'll wait for thr 'R' as I've been spoilt now !!! LOL
G
couldn't agree more on first impressions
Well i would have to say i like it but it doesnt appear to be a classic design, but in Ducatis shoes what could they have done?
If they went radical like with the 749/999 series they would have been criticised. if they went slighkty conservative they would be criticised.As such they have gone for the latter and prbably hoping they could steal a lot of sales from the Jap market...
It is a handsome bike i think, just nothing revolutionary.. and as with most things nowadays it will prob look better in the flesh!
twin rear pipes bin there done that over 10 years ago if this is it must say looks a little disapointing good job i love my 999r
Interesting
I can imagine the good words from hundreds of people now if it had some sort of GSXR side exhaust ?
what would you rather see ?
not trying to pick on you 999R but what did all those who have been saying they didn't like it want to see ?
something without wheels maybe.
I can understand people saying "Na not for me"
but its the "That's so yesterday, looks like a Kawasaki and a Triumph"
so come on in your opinions what's the best looking bike out there ?

My oh my,if that was human it would go straight to the top of the list for face reconstruction.It's so bloody ugly and can't decide if it's retro,futuristic or contemporary with end result it's a mongrel.I will never buy one,and if this is what happens when you listen to owners of 9** and 748's they should just ignore them next time.Even a Gixxer starts to look attractive when compared to this abortion.:mad:
MHO
1. From the side it's a 999
2. From the front it looks like the RR
3. From the back it looks abit **** and those cans look cheap & nasty.
But going to Milan next week so I will hold back until then....
I have a deposit down on the S (which I can get back if i don't like it)....

if you are talking about the exhaust ?
then they don't come out the top on the sedici
they come straight out the back like the 916
but it also has some side exhaust which come out the fairing.
I would be interested in seeing that.
but the problem with the road bike is you have to fit on a road legal exhaust and Cat

09-Nov-2006, 08:54
the road bike sedici exits top of the tail unit dosen't it ?
I
sorry the road bike does have the top exhaust but doesn't have the side ones
Still not much good if you have a bip
maybe they could do a upgrade kit ?
I think you will find they have no intention of doing a 'bip' 'sedici Keefer-apart from the one that Randy Mamola rides................

749/999 V 1098
interesting how perspective can change your opinion. having said that, I dont like the revised taller screen on the 2005+ 749, and that side view shows why
Seems to me its progressed from the 916 rather than the 999,maybe its the bike they should have made in between!! From some angles i like it others not. But i do think it will appeal to the jap buying market.

Have to say, they all look stunning - I'd quite happily have any one of those 3.....
Having waited with anticipation for quite a while to see the new bike and read all the comments by folk about this bike,it seems to me the consenus opinion of this model is...yes it's good (I think the performance is it's main selling point) but,it doesn't grab you with a "run to your dealer now" feeling.
If this was an Aprillia,Yam,Suz etc we would all probably be fine with it,but the level of expectation with Ducati is different,whose core brand differenciation is Design (like Ferrari,MV,ALFA etc). Many of us are picking up on the Design inconcistancies i.e;
1.Exhaust/seat relationship or should I say,attractive seat with an exhaust thats being designed in isolation without ever seeing what it will be sat next to.
2.Heat shield.... say no more....buteasily sorted
3.Fairing side. This is fine but not striking,dynamic,different...back to expectations and what Ducati is known for.If you look at the images of the three bikes above,look at the sophisticated and elegant suface of the 996, the dynamic and new treatment of the 999 and then we have the 1098...which is fine but doesn't excit.
4. Lights/air intake. quite interesting,no strong feeling for or against.
These in isolation don't sound that big a problem when you put them in the context of the jap stuff (gixa 1000 exhausts,people accept them), but what you do expect with ducatis is a cohesive and sophisticated design.Look at the above images and thats what we have, even if people don't gell with the 999,its still consistent with its self.
Yes,we haven't seen it in the flesh,and yes it will grow on us but I'd be very interested to see how many deposits are being put down.I do think its biggest selling point and a great one is the performance.... but if thats al I wanted I would buy jap stuff. I want performance and DESIGN.

maybe the "tricolour" version will be a sort of Burberry look :lol:
its growing on me FAST! oh no!
I am going the other way (hehe) I really liked it the moment I saw it, now the exhausts, swingarm and heat shield are making me stop and think.
It would be very, very sad to be hoping Ducati have tried to get to right, but everyone else thinks they have it wrong....
You'd change the exhausts and the heatshield anyway wouldn't you?
A nice carbon number ...
I don't mind the swingarm, but I can see one getting powdercoated/painted/whatever'd in black.
I LOVE the headlight and air intake look, gives me a woody :D
Did I mention the 90lb/ft torque? It'd go like STINK!
Sharpy G
10-Nov-2006, 16:04
I like the way the fairing looking head on has the original bubble curve point profile from the 916 era bikes
There's a lot of comments about how the 1098 looks but how it goes is also important.
When I get on a Ducati I expect it to try and pull me arms off from standstill and not require a riverdance on the gear lever. The 1098 is gonna have more torque than the old bikes, like TP says 90lb/ft quoted.
I've often read that the 999 rides/goes better than the older bikes, that's probably true. Maybe it was a "mistake" (one I'm glad they made tho' :) :) )to put the testastretta engine in the 998, if it was only available in the 999 shape not only would the looks be different but the oily bits would have been a significant evolution as well.
Forget the looks, if ya want a Superbike with a big V twin Desmo engine you have just one choice.
Is that the unique thing about Ducati?

Yeh what is that heatshield!!!! Rear end looks fantastic though... love the rear seat unit.... just have to get used to the front end! Oh well, have now been told I will get mine in December....... and have decided to go ahead and get it painted in silk black as I loved the colour of my dark so much!! But keep the red frame and red rim around the wheels! What do you reckon?

When turning in it feels like a 600, but when opening the throttle you are reminded that you’re on a real, mean 1100, the power delivery is expolosive (a ‘bomb’) but I was expecting that because IMO ‘Borgo Panigale’ make the best twin cylinder motors in the world: smooth, low down up to 1500rpm, strong mid-range especially above 7000rpm, and the top-end power, above 10000rpm is of industrial strength!
The cycleparts however really blew me away. Handling is not like the classic user-friendly 999 neither is it like the highly effective, super-sporty, but a bit wooden, 998.
For me the 1098 is an all new concept of riding style for Ducati. The first ‘Red’ to really offer a 100% modern ride; Quick, precise turn-in, light as a feather, excellent stability, short and compact but equally comfortable. And the sound of that motor… When I hit 291kmh at the end at the straight at Monza it felt like the rear wheel was ripping the asphalt off the track with every gear-shift; One finger on the front brake lever provided enough stopping power to risk throwing me over the front! These 330mm discs are by far the best brakes I have ever tried on a production bike, but one problem I noticed under medium braking at high speed (over 150kmh) is that there is an annoying vibration through the clip-ons. I also noticed a few other ‘peculiarities’ on the 1098 but don’t make me say everything yet, it will be a surprise that will be revealed in the Moticlclismo article on 17 November.”
Note the speed the test rider obtained on the straight anyone?
