Bike destroyed 2 weeks later...

Why do you think the county sherriff won't issue any concealed weapons permits? Because they don't want the white people to be able to defend themselves. and if you've seen the size of Hawaiian dudes, you would agree that it would take a gun to bring some of them down. Not that you would get a chance anyway after being sucker punched by one of them. Considering that's how they start most of their fights. Cowardly bitches. Just saying
 
Just an update. They totaled the bike. Frame was damaged. Stearing stops bent out and Ducati says they will not five me the bike unless they change the frame. Total came to 14K to fix. This encludes frame, rentacar, time and labor. So they decided to total.
 
hi Guys....

So after a few months I am going to pick up a new bike. I am torn between the black 08 1098S or a 09 1198S... I know it should be a no brainer but is the 1198S much better then the 1098s? This is soooo sexy...
 
hmm... I tink u should go for the 1198s since it has extra 100cc & traction control also.. & you can choose black or red colour also.. but price difference wise.. I'm not too sure bout tat though... hee hee~

That's a tough choice bro. I have an 08 1098s and I love it but...I wish I had the traction control. I'm a sucker for technology. I will say I wasn't happy with the looks of the 09 because of the frame/wheel color. The 08 had the red frame which which is why I never upgraded. Like Luncheon said, you also get an extra 100cc that a lot of magazine journalist have raved about saying it's not just a bored out 1098. Having never ridden an 1198, I couldn't tell you if it's worth it. For me, I would go the 08 route for the looks...but there always is the powder coat option for the 09. I bet you could get a "cheaper" 08 from someone who just has to upgrade. I know 08 1098s are a dime a dozen here on the mainland, just look at the classified threads here. Speaking of which, I don't know the cost of shipping one out there, but could you get one in the lower 48 and then ship it to save money?
 
Go with the 1198S...you wont be disappointed. Traction Control, DDA, Ohlins, a touch of Carbon...how can you go wrong. Unless someone backs over it again
 
I had a 08 Black S and would have sold/traded it in a heartbeat for a Black 1198S. Not so much for that extra 100cc's... But traction control.

& buy back your crunched bike....
