I would of preferred a lighter bike to an increase in power or engine capacity.

This one *is* lighter.

The rear subframe alone saved them about 12 pounds of sexy.

Curious about the heat shields on the exhaust as black.  Is it CF or just painted differently?

I plan on getting the Termignoni exhaust on my M696 just so my wife's legs don't turn into  when she's on the back...

Not horrible, I prefer the older style myself .....but what is with the stupid tapered exhaust on all the new bikes?    That's my least favorite part.

Being stingy with the sexy is baaaad.

Being baaaaad with sexy is universally regarded as very, very good.

Sheep lie. Don't believe them.

will this one be about the same performance as the S2R1000? I have never ridden a 1000 2v.. and was wondering if I would miss the power/torque being used to my S4R 996 engine. Makes sense now with this new 1100 that Ducati will introduce the 4v new chassis version next year..
