Yep,

Looking forward to seeing the bike when its all finished and unveiled. Im sure it will be a good one. Fingers crossed?

Not many bikes have me going to the dealers just to look at them when they come out but this and the MotoGP road bike may just do sway it for me.

Heard on the grapevine today the Messrs Hackett will probably be contesting one in British Super STOCK championship next year. Bring it on!

Well spotted, smilo.
I like the idea that it is called "1098" to avoid confusion with the 1099 Tax form, not that it's an extension of the "998" numbering. Yeah, right.

Ducati are quite happy to point out that its called the 1098 (Ten,nine,eight) to follow on the Family line from the 998 and distance itself from the 999.

I'm sure they're happy to continue the 998 numbering tradition. Not so sure they're as happy to admit that is an attempt to distance themselves from the 999, but whatever floats your boat.

I'm actually referring to the US dealer comments in the linked thread.

Van, this antipathy you have for the 999 borders on OCD. Were you once raped by a 999? Just curious.
