I've done 1850miles since picking up the bike in July.
It's simply awesome, love every minute on the bike.
Such a laugh playing with other bikes on the road!!!
A little bit expensive on knee sliders though!!!
It also looks stunning with the 70mm pipes.

The only downside is the fuel economy!!!
Only 65 - 80 miles per tankfull!!!!

Here you go chaps.

As the 1098R is so misunderstood I have compiled this info:

4 downloads as follows:

http://www.motorapido.co.uk/bikes/1098r/technical.zip
(10mb download zipped pdf file of a technical presentation I put together for the 1098R) just ask if there is anything you need to know.

no problem, i love the way ducati 'use' the rules of WSB and BSB to produce bikes like this, i'm a bit of a nerd about tech specs!

the 1098R is the closest you can buy to a full factory bike there has ever been. Enjoy yours!

Snap!... Wanted to ask that question as well. Not too important with relationship to where I am, as I travel around a lot and can pick up the full system from most places in the Uk.
Just wondered if any Ducatisti had already done the leg work of finding out the cheapest and most reliable source?
