Life is to short and what the hell, its only money and I've studied and worked my balls off to earn it!

In terms of looks I think the RR is in a class of its own. The 1098 looks better in the flesh than in the photos, but then I didn't think much of it in the photos. I like it enough to buy one, or the 850 ish version when it comes out, but having said that its design is nowhere near as radical as the 916 or 999 and in comparison its a bit of a cop out. Ducati have played safe, but maybe you cant blame them. The Hypermotard is a fantastic piece of design!!
