Pricing quoted by 900 Man seems favourable (optimistic). You sure these are right, given the cost of the 999 range at present (£9 - 20K)?

Prices given in US Dollars as:

$14,995 - 1098 Base: 160hp/80+tq
$19,995 - 1098S: adds carbon bits and Ohlins suspension pieces
$24,995 - 1098 Tri-Colore: adds race exhaust in the crate, red/white/green three-color paint

A quick conversion results in the following:

1098 base model: £7914.93
1098S: £10552.00
1098R Tricolore: £13195.00

If correct these are 'kin cheap by comparison. Methinks you mean Euros and not US dollars IMHO.

In euros the prices seem more in line with what we might expect

1098 base model: £10131.00
1098S: £13500.00
1098R Tricolore: £16889.00

Even so the "R" version seems priced way down from the norm. I think around €30,000 seems more on the money.

Just a thought mind.

Prices are in dollars, but the US have always had their auto's etc at prices us brits would kill for.
The source was from someone in the US who's an MV owner who happened to be in his dealer (also ducati) and gave him the info on a confidential basis after he's just got back from a dealer meeting in Salt lake city.

I'm sure more will come out in due course.

I am sure it will. Thanks for the update. If he got the info from a dealer meeting (albeit through the employee who attended) then it I suppose is safe to assume that other dealers (more importantly the UK dealers) willalso be party to the same information soon. I will have to take my thumbscrews down to my local dealer in the near future and see if I can't extract some more out of them too !!
