This Saturday, March, 13th BBQ & Demos
Stop by AMS Ducati Dallas this Saturday for BBQ and Demos of the new 2010 line-up.  We'll have the BBQ fired up by 12.  Ride over to see the new Ducati Corse 1198S, 848 Dark, Hypermotard 796, and Evo 1100.

wth are they demoing then? I thought they would have the hm796 for demos?

never mind.  it says that for the 2.99% financing.  My bad.  no exceptions it seems on Demo's.
 

anyone going?  I hear Josh is manning the grill so I'll bet there will be some fried moon pies on hand.

 I saw a motard demo there yesterday. I may do this
instead of KTM

Man, I've got to work tomorrow or I'd be all over this one    

I did see though that on March 20th (next Saturday) AMS will be having the new Multistrada Open House from 12-2.  I'm going to make that one for sure.  The weekend after that (the 28th) they've got a WSBK race watch  

I'll be making beer... Ya'll eat some BBQ for me!   

I haven't been to one of these in a while. Too bad I'm sporting the flu with 103 temp.

YES!

I'll be manning the grill for awhile - and the new Corse Edition bikes look phenomenal. Comes with termi slipons and the badass aluminum tank.

For 21k? 

No way. The 1198 S Corse is above the 1198 S. It goes for a few grand more. ($24-25ish). Worth it if you are already spending the cash to get the lightweight Corse tank and great paint scheme (much better than the Hayden LE imo). Termi slipons still aren't a full system though... (Though I'm sure you can sell the termi slipons quickly to another 1098/1198 owner to upgrade to the full system).

Oh, and I asked about the 1198 R Corse - they didn't have one today, but they are getting one. And I mean one.

Too much money IMO
I did see them at the motorcycle show and they look great but damn that's expensive

Aftermarket aluminum tanks run a bit over $2,000. That means special paint, limited edition numbering, and termi slipons for the remaining $1,000. Seems priced fairly reasonably in line with the standard 1198 S.
