Hyper fighter letdown ???
When I heard about Ducati`s new Hyper fighter I got pretty excited. A naked 1098 with up right riding position. What`s not to like? Right? Well I talked to a couple people who`ve seen the prototype and they both said it looked like a cross of a Buell and a Suzuki B-king  Not looking like a Ducati at all. Fat and flat out ugly! I guess we`ll just have to wait for the pictures from Milan in a couple of weeks. $14,900 for the base and $18,900 for the S with traction controll...

That's why they used the DS motor in the Hyper - it's skinnier and keeps with the overall look better. The 1098 stuff is going to look wide without the bodywork no matter what they do.

Man, I hope you are correct, saves me a ton of money when I don't like the latest bike.

You'd have to work pretty f'ing hard to come up with anything that would make my stomach turn as much as goatsie. A B-King/Buell combo just might do it.
I just vomited in my mouth thinking about it.

The price on the S is absurd

why, same engine as 1098, but a few thou. less for the naked version... I could have called it. Seems very appropriate and in line with others (mv agusta f4 and brutale for example)

Seems very appropriate pricing on both streetfighters,
a couple thousand less than 1098 Sportbike, and it will also attract a different buyer than the 1098 sportbike I think as well
