would i be whack if i bought the bike just for looks? if i bought this bike i would treat it like my trophy 
would not tracking it be a waste of a Ducati 848? 
would not tracking it be a waste of a Ducati 848? Look at the Ducati Streetfighter - it looks and sounds incredible in person, and is much more comfortable (both due to ergos and lack of heated seat).

I think Ducati finally woke up and smelled the cost of lost sales due to their styling. They even admitted it on Twist of the Throttle program. It's a wonder they survived as a business after producing some of the most atrocious looking bikes after hiring Pierre.
Coming around full circle to the styling that created the greatest sportbike of all time - the 916.

The scary thing about the 1098 IMO is that max torque kicks in at I think 2200 RPM. With max torque for roughly 14k RPM and 1100cc of power, it is a suicide rocket for me.
