check out my thread. i went back to an r6 from my ducati. have alot more fun on my 6. the duc made me feel weird and i hated the fact that it didnt have a slipper clutch. for the looks i loved the bike but other than that it was ok. took the corners like it was on rails but goin from knowing how to ride a jap bike to tyring to ride that didnt fit well. they are awesome bikes dont get me wrong. i would love to keep mine. the 1098 is almost a disgrace. when they made the 999 they pushed themselves that much further ahead of the Jap bikes. but since 03 Japs have passed ducati in performance and styling big time. the 1098 has obvious Jap styling in it and the price is a give away that they are trying to be more competitive with them. if you want a good bike wait till the 1200 comes out next yr very little is know about it but rumors say it will make busa power in the 1098 chassis with ohlins suspension. awesome bike.
Thats what I geard about ducati's. I also though about keeping the 600 because I love it, but then again it all depends if I can pay it off before march, dont wanna have 2 bike payments and a car payment.
