So the Ducati press demo in South Africa is over, I hear Bayliss was 3 sec. over his lap record with a stock 1098S and was mostly impressed with the brakes on the bike besides the lap time.

I also noticed that the USA get's a special price on the bikes, the S model is listed with apx. $ 28.000 in Europe so much higher then here. Ducati hopes the rest of the world will make up for it in sales.

I also hear that the press is keeping a lid on a few problems with the motors.
