Dont get me wrong, I`d be quite happy with a 999R Fila Rep.

But the 999 just is`nt the true successor to the 916, if anything is, its the MV F4.

But the 1098 is very nice and I cant wait to see one on the track in race trim...

180bhp for the road going `R` and an easy 210bhp in track trim. WOW!!!!

They are saying the standard 1098 is 160bhp and it out-drags a Gixxer Thou.

Cant wait to ride one!!!

Why is there nothing on the Ducati website ????

would still be funny if it was all a scam

160 at the wheel or at the crank?

160 at the crank is about 140 at the wheel - ok but nothing special.

160 at the wheel means 180 at the crank, which I just don't believe from a 1100 cc twin.

you love numbers don't you ? LOL

I do (except for 999) :)

My 998R had 140'ish at the wheel in standard trim, surely they've moved on from there?!

Ducati made a bid deal of making some large performance gains, so I'd be surprised if these weren't 'at the wheel' figures.

oh I'm soooooooo pleased I have a 749 then

I'm very happy for you.

and I , in turn, for you my friend

must be the air in MK today ! LOL

MCN does not say whether it is at the crank or wheel....
