Could this be true.

[Jaff]

I was told by someone who was told by someone who was, well you get it. I was told that the 1098 is already displaced at 1198. Could this possibly be true. Break out the calipers and measure that stroke!

 

[JTEwv]

Nope not true at all...until next year that is

 

[Margo Lane]

R is

I knew about the R, I didn't really believe it myself but my informant who is presently in the witness protection program insists that our 1098s are already displaced at 1198. Another conspiracy theory?

I'd blame the aliens and maybe he went back for seconds on the probing side of things?
Who knows but I'm looking forward to the '09 1098 and 1098S's having the adult sized donk in them

 

[fab@50]

Heard the 1098 is DOA as well, 1198 is the new "thing".

The up side is with only a two year run the 1098's should eventually be collectors items.......The bike that put Ducati back in black.

The 1098 and 1098S are in fact 1099 cm3.

The only 1198cm3 is the R.

Up to now, nobody can tell if the 2009 SBK will be 1198 or 1199. Will it be "bore/stroke" the way the 2008 R is.......? That's the question.
