So went bike shopping with a friend today (hes looking to purchase his first bike) we stopped by a Ducatti dealer and while we were there the dealer claimed that the 1098 would smoke a Busa in the quarter,as well as at a Yamaha dealer different salesman claimed the same thing about the new R1 as well as claiming the new R1 has 199 hp. I havent really looked into thoose bikes but I know my 08 will shut just about anything up that it comes acrossed but Ive never really seen many Ducatis around here and honestly didnt even know we had a dealer locally for them. So really just looking for everyones imput.
