http://www.advancedmotorsports.com/category-s/159.htm (http://www.advancedmotorsports.com/category-s/159.htm)
Im going to the party on the 22nd and the demo on the 23rd. (at DucPond)
Will there be demo "rides"? Or is it all fashiion, food, and gift bag folderol?
email says demo rides ;D
demo ride is 10-4
wish I could go. gotta wait till following week I guess
I'd be interested in this thing if it had a better power to weight ratio.
;)
if you lost weight then it wouldn't be a problem fat-ass
nice....

Hmmm, let's see... If I traded in my SBK, that means I'd only need to come up with 14 grand [bang] [laugh]

Are you serious? [bang] [bang]
For that much money you buy a low mileage 848 and a nice S2R 800/1000... [drink]

don't forget to bang out another $3k for exhaust options too
I'm gonna ride it but no way in hell I can spring for an Ohlins

Yep, the exhaust, plus when AMS sells you the bike you'd best go ahead stick in the pre-paid maintenance for another $3k. If you're lucky you may get out of AMS on your new 1198s with your riding boots on.
Just like in grade school, you gotta pay the big bucks to be the cool kid with newest shoes.
Yeah, at these prices I'm happy I'm happy with my S4RS.

which is why I told you earlier on today that my 1100S will be your bike soon and I wanted you to be happy with the full termi system LOL.. Oh and I have the AMS prepaid maintenance up to 7,500miles / 3 years :P
I'll test ride it too and if I like it, I'll buy it.. and if I do, it'd be the S with full termi, make the beast with two backs the stock suspension...
yeah yeah yeah yeah
too much talk [popcorn]
Anyone going to this today? Looks fine now but there is a damn good chance of rain today. :P Dodged a few showers yesterday but the chances increase today. Wouldn't mind riding to AMS and taking an up close look-see at the Streetfighter. Have no real interest in one but it would be a good way to kill some time. [moto]
Rode her today...put her away wet. Not bad... Hard on the nuts though, probably close to a sbk in that dept
Would be a really fun lane splitting machine though... If it was legal

I would love to hit those gals with some cold cream!
Rode up to ProItalia today to see the Streetfighter, and well, sorry to say I wasn't too impressed. But then I didn't get to ride it.
Speaking of lane splitting, out here in LA I've gotten to the point where I want to go riding just so I CAN do some lane splitting. It really is the sport of kings out here.
Miss you guys and gals btw.
NorDog
hate myself for not making it. >:(
Not much into those groovy evening fashion show things. Last one I hit was the Dec. 2006 1098 coming out party. Looks like they had a nice turn out. AMS does put on a good gig for sure. [clap]
Cruised down yesterday afternoon to check it all out. Mark offered me a test ride on the "thing" (I can't make myself call it by it's stupid name) but I didn't take him up on it. Personally, the coolest bike on the floor is the Brad Pitt one off 1098S in flat black! I am not usually fond of the "dark" bikes but this one is so subtle it actually stands out. Does that make sense? :P Don't know why he got the factory to make it for him then never picked it up... his loss. Really nice custom touches: silver frame, carbon here and there, black powder coated swingarm, factory rear sets. All neat stuff and for only $19K! That's a really good deal for a custom, factory one off 1098S! Of course Brad Pitt is a complete turd and a total waste of space but at least the bike is cool. [thumbsup]
Flat Black Brad Pitt 1098S Factory Custom? Do photos exists?

Hey, thanks to my brother from a different mother! [beer]
Can't believe I missed this... Love the new '09 models. I'll take a blonde AND a brunette ;D
After riding it, I can say I like my streetfighter more.

Brad: No more babies!
Angelina: No more motorcycles!
DNA: And here you are, Mr. Pitt, your brand new Ducati. That will be 20 large, please...
B.P. : Wait! You don't actually expect me to PAY for this?!? Don't you know who I am?!? Ducati should be happy I've chosen them to endorse...
DNA: That's 20 with three zeros after it, Mr. Pitt...
i think this 1098S is 19000 plus TTL.. bargain and comes with Titanium exhaust! [coffee]
[drink] Noted.
other than Rich, is anyone going to spill the beans on the test run? I need to know!!!!!!!!!! [bang]
I read somewhere (probably in BIKE magazine, a terrific mag from the UK):
"By definition, a 'streetfighter' cannot be made in a factory."
I think I agree. But then again, I have no idea what kind of street fight one would be in armed with a motorcycle. ???

Funny, I was just thinking that I hated the name and would prefer something like the "StreetLover", the "LaneSplitter", the "CornerCarver" or even the "SBK Nekkid". (As all good rednecks know, "naked" means "no clothing" while "nekkid" means "no clothing and up to something".
I don't know Fastwin, I like those fashions the models were wearing. They're really skin tight though. I 'd really like to slip into one of those models. The suits, er are those uh, birthday suit suits? Now that's streetfighting the redneck way, nekkid, dang all these words are just running all together now. I better go back and look at the models some more. :P ???
What models? All I saw was Streetfighter ???
[evil]
the tank just crushed my junk too much for my liking...not to mention not as comfy for 2up riding (though the main seat is less comfy also), not functional for a tailbag or strapping shit on your tail with a cargo net or straps. though if you're wanting something that would be more track capable, i'm sure the streetfighter is what you want over the s4rs. it just fails to be remotely as cool looking as the S2/4R imo. and you could find 2 to 3 nice S2/4R or S4Rs for the price of a new streetfighter.
I need to see it and ride for sure BUT there is no way in hell it's worth $20K out the door. Like you, I would have an S4R and some little "trash" bike that I wouldn't mind crashing on the track or following Slag & T.
I could be wrong or blasted to hell for saying this but Ducati is pricing itself out of the market and returning to the days before Texas Pacific Group saved them. I personally have no use for traction control, many of you do because you ride a HELL OF A LOT better than I ever will but damn it's an expensive toy.
I agree. [clap]

I yeah I would rather steal some extra cash and get the Bimoto Tesi 3D
maybe Ron can buy one and beat it up a little and sell it for $8k

hell no, just got married and she's already buying crap. although she did say if/when she gets pregnant I can sell her bike (of course mine too) and get a new toy. truthfully though I'm cruising the ads as I type.......why wait, right?
Spent two days riding the M1100S/Streetfighter/848 and a few other bikes on the track....
i really like the bike seems like a 600 compared to the other brands Ducati brought to compare (from all the others i liked the Tuono the most)
here are some photos i took
