Keep in mind that many dealers had trouble sellin a 1098R at 40k. It took at least 6 mos for the local shop to sell theirs, and I think they got 33-34 for it. A 55k sbk is gonna be a tough sell. Most markets aren't Dallas  ;)

Fixed it for you.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

It looks like an exhaust manifold.

Since Ducati has eliminated most of the leaking oil issues many have complained the bike lacks character.  So Ducati added 3 unnecessary gaskets for future (after warranty) character.    ;)

Probably for use during the construction process?

i thought it might be that, but the design doesn't look like it maximizes the space to hold oil -- plus it's not on center which means the oil will not circulate well.  it will definitely fill with oil though.  if they were going to make a deep sump the proper way to do it would be to mount it towards the center and run the oil pickup to the bottom of it.

yeah, it does, but it isn't.

How do you know that? I think it's more likely the 1098 concept came about after it was apparent that the 999 wasn't selling well due to price/styling. Terblanche was still head of design months after the 999 came out, and he had no involvement in the 1098. My guess is serious work started on the 1098 in early 2005...near the time TPG was selling. They may have had a part, but I don't think the bike can be attributed to them.

del Torchio said it takes 5-6 years for a new design to come to the market.

Signore del Torchio has stated that it takes 3-4 years for a bike design to be complete.  TPG definitely had a hand in the 1098.

1) Is there an echo in here?

2) Did he say 3-4 or 5-6??  ;D
