I prefer the old look myself, the new one is OK, just not immediately striking. They may have missed a trick.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

IMO the old one looks rubbish in comparison

Really boring

I think the new 1198R is one of the nicest looking ducati's I've seen in ages

Shame I don't have the £££££££

It looks mega in real life- proper race like machine and the new style Termi's that they are doing for the superbikes look real trick as well

The new 1098R comes with a full comp. exhaust system which previously was only on the Bayliss rep. The main change is the slightly larger tank [just like Noris] which makes it much easier to ride, as previously you really had to grip hard with your legs to stop sliding forwards under hard braking. I,ve ordered one for mine & I,m having it resprayed, as in the flesh the new colour scheme looks fantastic

Don't forget that we're almost at parity with the Euro these days.

£30,000 @ £1 : €1.1 = €33,000

so back in the day when it was £1 : €1.56 you'd get...

€33,000 / 1.56 = £21,154 ... which is roughly the old price.

It's not Ducati that is changing the prices, it's our wonderful Government that is driving our currency into the ground!

"A weak currency is the sign of a weak economy, which is the sign of a weak government." Gordon Brown, 1995.
