It's a Flash 9 based PDF viewer - some makes sure Flash is on, and version 9+ on your browser.

That was a great read - thanks for the link 

170 HP also reinforces why I would never buy one, even though I love them.

Thanks for posting. Now if only I could convince myself I could handle a 170hp superbike

Yeah, no shit.  My S4RS slightly modded  is sick power for the street that even with 25 years of riding exp. is a constant exersise in self control.

So the 1198s is a 1098R for $15k less? Ducati seems to be turning these bikes out quick.....causing at least two of my friends to sit on their wallets and forgo a 1098 for the 1198.....I would have given the 1098 at least another year or two on the showroom floor!

Good!
Means a lightly used 1098 might fall into my price range quicker.

That bike is sick !
I would be all about a used 1098, but I dont think I would survive long enough to enjoy it..

This will give them plenty of available 1098 engines for the Streetfighter
