superhawk - gone :[ ducati 1098 - in :]
 
i loved my superchicken and hated seeing her leave. now i have a '07 1098. all i can say is wow. the 1098 is incredible. she is very light, agile, sounds great, and has a ton of torque. the brakes are awesome and she looks hot. she's everything i expected her to be. :cool:

have fun on her :)

Congratulataions, it`s a gorgeous bike! I rode one around for a couple of hundred miles and all I can say is, best of luck in keeping your driver`s licence :) The other possible downside is that the riding position (for anything other than the track) may have you become very well acquainted with your local chiropractor, lol

Yes PICS

nice man

i'll post pics when i get home.

i was going to buy an RC-51 but i couldn't find a clean (near mint) low mile one. i also have a buddy with a 1098 who kept raving about his bike. so now i'm a happy 1098 owner.

Man, that's beautiful! No doubt the total package right off the floor.

tapatio 03-18-2009 07:42 PM

yes. all the mods i wanted were done. db-killers were removed so the bike is pretty damn loud.

VTRsurfer 03-18-2009 08:28 PM

:congrats: You lucky bastard. Keep the shiny side up.

And stay off the 8.

tapatio 03-18-2009 08:37 PM

Thanks. And yes, I will definitely be avoiding the 8!

You should use photobucket or something else, that site is already overloaded.

Syclone 03-18-2009 11:06 PM

sex on wheels :drool:

i like the look of the bike a lot compared to the 999. the dry clutch sound is neat. its only really audible while the bike is idling. at speed its not noticeable. i think ducati did a great job on this bike and the current bikes (848, 1198). i recommend you guys try one out. the ducati dealerships around here demo the 848's. take one for a spin :]

Hotbrakes 03-19-2009 01:16 PM

Nice. Take that bitch to the track and give her a proper flogging! What are the service intervals though?

Did your insurance give you a buy back option? Mine was totaled last year and I bought it back for $1100. Replaced the left fairing and she was good as new minus a couple scratches here and there.

mikstr 03-19-2009 01:29 PM

I found the clatter of the dry clutch at idle is strangely reminiscent of a hopped-up Big Block Chevy....
