for $18K it better sing,dance and prepare dinner for me...

Nice, but it's still less HP at the wheel than an 08 Busa and it costs a whole lot more.

I think the 150+ lbs weight difference might make up for a dozen horses or more...

 

[Revolution]

hmmmm i dunno... Ive seen a few ducs run and they always seemed under powered compared to their "paper numbers"

 

[Mr Bogus]

I think the hp ratings for them are not off the rear wheel... all the same .. very impressive numbers Chris, Doyle and I saw an 07 at the Suzuki dealer in Louisville and it was a sano looking piece...

Are they still using the dry clutch setup? I heard a 748 running at the stop like sounded like it was about to rattle apart.

1198cc V-twin ...mmmmmm nice..

Ohlins shocks and Brembo brakes . Carbon mufflers from factory.

For $18K it`s a bargain.

No, they're all wet clutches now ! And the 748 is wet also, so he must have been having a problem  

 

[Mr Bogus]

Not sure where the $18K came from but this bad boy is $39k+. I am wondering how many races into the season next year Ducati will sandbag with these things until they let Bayliss win a few. I love this bike for what it is but at the same time I hate the fact that it exists because the FIM was bullied into letting them run 1200cc in WSBK next year.
Heres a little more in depth article.

New Kawa ZX10 looks good too.

Aside from the GSXR1000 almost all of the competitors will have new machinery next year. Should be a good show!
