Nice bikes. I'm currently wearing out a Suzuki GN250. Everyday transport to work and back ... poor thing does over 15,000 km's per year. Pete
Wade How do you like the 1098S? I have been looking at a 1098S but I don't know how people like them. Have you had any problems? Have you had a 999 or 998, 996, 916 before? How do they compare. Have you ever had/ ridden a MV 1000R, and how does it compare?
I love it! Sorry but I don't have any experiences comparable with this one. But I can say that I never could have imagined how intuitive the 1098 would be when it comes to handling and overall performance. To quote a fellow owner "I merely look at a corner and imagine a line from here to there and the 1098 simply goes there without any effort from me. How does it know?" I've always wanted a Ducati Superbike but was put off by the maintenance schedules and pricing. That's been changed for 2007 and I prefer the styling over the 999 as well. My other bike is a 2001 Buell X1 which is similar to how the Monster was back then, so again, no comparison. Although it’s a first year model and I have put on only 240 miles it’s been absolutely trouble free and much, much better than I ever expected. You might want to check out the Ducati boards, I’m sure there are others who can answer some of your questions better than I. www.1098-forum.com http://www.ducati1098.net/ www.ducati.ms
I always said that the MV would be better compared to Lamborghini and Ducati to Ferrari. I have both and love them.
Hi all. I just joined because Im looking into getting a Ferrari 308 but my first love is my motorcycles. Here are my beauties! 2000 Ducati 750SS 2003 Aprilia RSV Mille R
Hey Vern, do you post at Ducati.ms or AF1 Aprilia forums? I think Ive seen pics of your car and bike before. BTW they are amazing, congrats!
I only make the comment based on Ferraris minor involvement in the engine. I have a Duc also, probably prefer the MV over the Duc only for the engine note. personal preference only if its Italian its great. Hahaha, Regards Vern
Hi Tron, No haven't been to those sites(not enough time for this place) but do belong to the MV forum they have an album area on their site maybe that where you saw the pics. Oh.. and also, thanks for the compliments. Regards, Vern
Picking this bike up within the week and the 750 will probably become a track dedicated bike, or be sold. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Very nice bike I think the CBR, the new GSXR, and the new R1 are some of the best looking bikes produced. I want to pick up a 600 here soon. Heres my old YZ125 Image Unavailable, Please Login
I'm hoping to own this in my next life when I have money to spend. I love the look of the single swing arm. 1098's FTW Image Unavailable, Please Login
The 1098S is a nice bike and I might get one next summer or if I move to Vegas(so I can enjoy it more), but a bike that I will one day hopefully be able to afford is this one. About $60,000 for it though, which would almost make me cry if I highside it at a track day. Although the suspension and 200+hp, justifies the price in my mind.

... As in threads. All in the spirit of Halloween and since I've been chasin' Monsters lately. Picking up this one on Saturday from the Ducati dealer in Odessa, Fl 2007 Monster S4RS Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/Carl44/MotoPics003.jpg My stuff, I am down to just one 500cc MX bike and no street bike now. The mx bikes are 500cc two strokes in CR250 chassis. I had always been a 500 nut, so when the 250 kept being developed and the 500 fell out of production, I shoehorned a 500 motor into a new 250 chassis. Like a 6 liter V8 stuffed into a 2000lb car. Lots of fun, and I could get every start at the races.
Here's mine, a 2003 Triumph Sprint ST. Sadly, it was put away yesterday for the long, cold Chicago winter........ Image Unavailable, Please Login

Man that's beautiful! I had been looking of a black 907 I.E. for over a year, had a eBay search assistant for one as well. But I just bought the S4Rs...
