| Couple of 998SFE Questions
1.I was looking at a new Ducati 998 s final edition in the showroom and noticed it has die cast cases (smooth outer finish) whereas some other regular 2002 998S models I've seen have had the sand cast cases (rough outer finish).
Why is this and are there any technical advantages to having sand cast over die cast cases?
2 Also is it just me or is the colour of the SFE more of an orangey red than normal-a 2002 bike parked nearby looked to be a darker & deeper red in colour than the SFE? |
