Would you sell a 749R to buy a 1098?

Serious question now and your “constructive” advice will be appreciated.

Early 2006 I bought a 2004 749r, the full carbon model etc etc. Whilst I love the look of the bike I also bought it with the intention to own a rare (ish) Ducati, to have some exclusivity and to escape the crippling depreciation that most bikes suffer.

Recently my head has been turned by the 1098. Maybe all the marketing hype is winning me over, maybe I just love the look and style of the new bike.

I know that I’m very lucky to have this dilemma, but, do I keep the 749r for ever or do I sell it for a 1098.

There are pros and cons for both arguments.

Not saying that my final choice will be based on the comments made, but, just wondered what others would do in this situation ?
