1098 S?

[Alzo]

One could bring joy...the other remove joy...only you can decide which is which.

One's black, the other's white...... Or they could both be black..... Or white..... Or grey

Exactly

Go for the Duke. It looks so purdy

Also, reliability isn't really a factor for a garage ornament!

There's a real risk I may have to actually use it. And just to add insult to injury I may even have to get to work on it!!

In that case R1 it is

I've commuted to work on the 1098 a few times, even once made it from Liverpool to Milton Keynes in a business suit for a client meeting

[Lord Danoir the first]

The 1098 sure is pretty...... but, so was PJ's R1, in those colours..... wow

[komp]

i considered one on a couple of occasions
but glad i waited for the panigale

the riding position on the 1098s was quite extreme
and not sure i could deal with "traditional" ducati servicing requirements

[Millhouse]

So looks alone, which one?

[Andy M]

looks alone you already no the answer. I bet despite all that's been said on here you haven't wavered at all and are still 75:25 in favour of the duke!

[Alzo]

The R1 in that guise is stunning. A well balanced design. The 1098 is stunning too. I think the vote would be closer to 50/50...R1 all the way for all the right reasons.

[Chojin]

This is a classic head/heart decision so I'm gonna play devil's advocate here:

No one really *needs* a bike, no one buys a bike using their head?

Buying a bike is and always will be about buying with whatever whets your loin.

[Lord Danoir the first]

In those colours, the Duke....... the R1 in the colours PJ had is a much closer affair.



I think PJ also had black seats, which look better.

[PJ]

Should never have sold her!
