Taken from the 1098 forum: Might be crap - time will tell.
Hi,
hi all, some days ago I went to ducati's borgo panigale shop and I spoke about the new 1198S.
they said to me that the bike will be launched in Almeria circuit (Portugal) in a couple of weeks with all the press invited.
they saw the new bike inside the factory: new bodyframe colours (I don't know what), frame and wheels "gold" like the "Tricolore" (may only for some bodyframe colours), traction control operating over the injection (different from 1098R), 10HP more than the 1098 engine but mainly due to compensate "euro 3-4" limitations.
of course the engine will be not so sophisticated as 1098R.
that's all, we have just to wait!
