Ive seen it.........do I like it ????

Been down the hill today for a deek at the 1098 & the jury's still out

I was slightly dissapointed by how ugly the swinging arm is - it was like meeting Kylie for the first time & discovering she has a greet wart on her chin.

Secondly - when it was cranked up - it sounded as mean as me Dads Skoda
Maybe M&S have been given the :gay: version. It deff needs new cans

& finaly on a tech note - I hope the big belches of blue smoke clear up after it's run in

Other than that - I would still have one over any of the Nippons - I just think there's nicer Ducatis to have.

Time will tell

Like you said dd, lumpy looking swinging arm and it just sounded disappointing . Looking forward to hearing Martin DG's Termi'd up version.

Test ride? :thumbsdown: that would be a NO then

Sorry we all departed before you got there Mick, what do you reckon then?

DL's 1098 has the Termis on too with baffles removed it sounds brilliant! i put a vid clip on here a while back to give an idea of the sound but the mic on me phone couldnt do it justice

....the bike..:hug: ..I like very much.(see threads for 1098s at Ducati Glasgow)...
....dealerships..:thumbsdown: ..need to be more sympathetic to customer needs!...show GENUINE interest in a customer that is willing to invest a lot of money in this. I did not feel I received anything close to this at the dealership I visited today!..

..show GENUINE interest in a customer

As soon as they saw the 4 of us pawing over their flagship model they were straight across with the latte & a box of fox's assortments









Sorry I dreamt that bit

 

[Nimue]

You were dreaming you were at DG Ian!

Apparently M&S 'are not planning to get a demo 1098'

 

[dancingdog]

Im going to open up DH

 

[Nimue]

Can your mum do cakes? That's Martins secret weapon

Will you do test rides?
