MrHixxx 0 #2 April 27, 2008 Being a 1098 owner, I can only beam with pride. Okay, and with a bit of envy with all the neat factory race goodies on his bike. However, I am very happy just to have a base model 07. Will this be Bayliss 3rd Ducati model to have a championship? Pretty good chance there... I wonder if Stoner will get out of his rut in Shanhai...

MrHixxx 0 #4 April 27, 2008 Yeah, I fuckin' hate the track bike. But in a good way too. I had a glance at it. Higher displacement, stiffer swing arm for nice fat slicks, All the nice Ohlins shit I can't afford, and a zillion other goodies. I am not suprised that it is sitting on the podium with more than one rider. Yet, Bayliss is as tuned as the bike itself. That guy is such a clean rider he makes some of the competition look like they are on dirt bikes. The right guy on the right bike. What I really like is that Ducati is the little guy. 60,000 bikes a year, maybe 3000 1098s. Beating mfgs that make millions of bikes and have 25,000 liter bikes going to dealers. -Hixxxdeath,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrHixxx 0 #9 April 27, 2008 I had 3 R1s before the 1098. Haga is actually my favorite Superbike racer. He rides like he is indestructible. Really nice contrast to Bayliss. Of course, knowing the result has never stopped me from watching races. It is all about the journey (though results aren't so bad either). -Hixxxdeath,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
