They didn't fix anything. It wasn't broken. It has become a Superbike trademark, just like the underseat exhaust, trellis frame, and (aside from the 749/999) the single sided swing arm. The 848 is more "economical" than previous middle weights...

I know I was just being sarcastic.

If I had a Duc I'm damn sure want it to have a dry clutch. I will own a Hypermotord someday.

The 1098 indeed has an incredible exhaust note. And if any encouragement for the Hyper, the aircooled 2V powerplant in its chassis delivers an even more intoxicating "basso profundo".

You do not want a Ducati, They are noisy look funny and they embarrass other twin sport bike riders. If everyone will boycott them I can afford another one so stay away

You're safe for now. I'm gonna ride the Buell for a couple more years.

Yeah, my boss just bought a 1098S with an Arrow exhaust on it, sounds SICK!

I saw a Tricolor the other day, and about ran off the road while staring at it.

If I get another Duc it WILL have a dry clutch. Mine feels like its missing something.
