Just got a flyer through the post promoting the new 1089/848 bikes from Ducati.
I have to say, checking the website, the new 1098R gets my vote for "Bike porn of the year 2008".

Interested to see it on a dyno/weighing scales to see whether the Japs or the Italians are the biggest BS merchants on figures....180bhp/165kg!
My track spec 998 makes over 20hp less and weighs 20kg more (tested)..
