Hi everyone, Back in January, due to a lousy work situation i had to sell my pride and joy, a mint 848Evo which i'd owned from new. It was heartbreaking to see her go, but at the time i had no choice. It was not a great time for me. 10 months without a bike has been hard work. I've tried to fill my time with wine, women and song but nothing has compared to discomfort, cooked private parts, popping and banging Termis and the endless smile that only a Ducati can give. So.......today, i purchased a 1098R to make up for lost time "if you are going to be a bear, be a Grizzly"....... It's good to be back!
You will love it the power delivery is savage the noise from the Termi & induction is addictive , having owned mine for nearly 3 years i'm still amazed by power especially after riding my other bike.:smile:
She's been fitted with a full titanium Akrapovic system, so i'm sure she'll sound amazing! Can't wait to take delivery!!!
Will be interested to hear from any 1098R owners, with things to watch out for/general ownership advice! Please PM me.
Yes, Moto Rapido. Looked at another one this morning and it wasn't great, a bit dog-eared. The Moto-Rapido bike was utterly immaculate, the previous owner had looked after her very, very well.
Thanks mate, did wonder if you were still lurking around on this fair forum! Think you can keep the bolts, i've already done my shopping list for the 1098R........it's not small!
Hey Argonaut, im feeling your 'cant go out on her coz of the weather' pain at the moment...i bought my tric just over a month ago and she's yet to turn a wheel in anger....i keep nipping in the garage and lifting her petticoat for a crafty look.
I had a golden opportunity yesterday that I fugged up and ended up having to go shopping. wish I kept my trap shut...
