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.

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

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.
You lucky bastard. Keep the shiny side up.
Gorgeous!

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 :]

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.
