1098 Ducati & 1300 Busa

[05 Busa LE]

(CAT3 @ Feb. 18 2007,19:58) This thread made me go back to my bookmarks and look at the 1098s....  Sh!t, they now offer it in Black with red trellis frame!

And yellow, too!

I'll pass on the yellow thanks. The black is sinister and nice. I like it. But, the "other" costs are keeping me away...just too many unknowns for now. I'd like to see actual maintenance cost per year/mileage etc. Maybe it'll be time for a Gixxer750 for trackdays?

(JINKSTER @ Feb. 17 2007,14:17) 4. For the past 25 years at Daytona?..."Ducati"...has never completed the Open Class Daytona 200...the engines always blow in the final laps...that track is too hard and FAST for a ducati engine.

Sorry Bill but Neil Hodgson finished 2nd in 05 and Fourth in  06 at Daytona. Ben Bostrom was 7th in 06 and his bro was 11th the year before. Much as I hate Eric Bostrom he had the 200 in the bag in 04 until he perforated an oil cooler. That was all the further I looked back.
