They look better actually, that bike doesn't look too bad.

Shades of MV in the tail lights and that swingarm looks like you could hold up a bank wielding it!

Damn you beat me to it, I am pretty sure these are it. Looks very similar to the spy photos we have seen and if it is the new 1098, I like it. Still remains to be seen if this is 100% accurate but I dont think it is far off the mark. Who ever leaked these is going to be a marked man / woman by Ducati (horse's heads and all that!!)

Although we still have no real idea what its going to be like ?

How long now ?

Yeah, that looks coooooooooool

[749er]

front lights look like the Daytona 675, have no idea what that seat unit is all about, a 999 unit tacked onto something else......not keen on the back end....looks good from the front and`sides though....as long as I dont look at the seat unit.....fairings look like a pain to get off

That looks the business and I cant wait to see it in the flesh...

[keefer]

I like it

[doogalman]

Must be another MCN exclusive!!!!

[KeefyB]

Its not doing anything for me at the mo.Sure its a nice looking bike,but not very Ducati looking.It looks like any other bike that is being churned out.
Hopefully it will look better in the metal.

Rather irritatingly for MCN, this is the day before their publication date so, even if they manage to 'hold the front page', Ducati enthusiasts will have had nearly 24 hours to look the bike over on the inevitable web pages that'll have it the day before....most likely appear on ducati.com synchronised with the official launch, and no doubt make an appearance pretty quickly on here.

I'm sure it won't stop MCN claiming another 'World Exclusive' though
