I think it looks better in black, seems to look a little more Stealth like. The red makes it look a little bit of a X between a Speed Triple & a Tuono especially with the gold band around the headlight.
Ducati will have a hard time pricing this at the right market, as they won't want to harm sales of the new Monster 1100 etc. At the sametime its hard to justify £13,000 when the 1098S has been approx £14,250.
To me at least the new Streetfughter replaces in many ways the S4RS which was around £9,500, so if its around £11,000 then some people could have a choice and be within reasonable budgets.
Would I buy 1, maybe a Demo or 1 12 months old? I'll think about it when I see it on Friday in Milan...
Just my opinion.
