Streetfighter is coming...

You, I'd have to venture out and take a guess that the rider in the photo riding the Streetfighter probably measures in height to be around 6'2 inches tall. Thats really tall...

I'm 5'7, i don't think I'm in a upright seating position on that motorcycle.

The issue right now is sizing up the scale. What I do know, is that the street fighter has a longer wheel base then the 1098, 1198 superbike.

yet in the photos from the milan show, it shows the rider towering the bike...it made the bike look small.

I do hope it is enough upright seating position for the riding you suggested. what I don't understand at this stage is how the Street Fighter S model can be priced the same as a 1198s. Explain that?

I just cant justify the cost for the streetfighter. If it was between an 1198s and a streetfighter S, I'd take the 1198s out of principle since its just a better bike in performance and every category for the exception of up right seating position...and added comfort...

am I wrong to think that way?
 
hey biz.....nope... you're not wrong in thinking that at all...

but i do believe that you may have missed my point....

i love riding sportbikes... the problem with most of them is that the commitment the riding position calls for... like i said before... i like riding 4-500 mile days... what i didn't mention in my last post?... i'm almost 6'3...

like i also mentioned before.. i've ridden a 1098... beautiful bike... awesome motor.. BUT... after an hour and a half... i needed a break... it's the same reason i didn't buy a 996 back in '97.. i bought the 900SS instead... i love my 900SS, but i'll admit... i've always wanted a Ducati with more power... and the monsters just don't do it for me.. i prefer my 900SS...

been looking at the motard.. and still am.. but i think that Ducati has finally made a sportbike with their top motor than i can do my all day rides on...

only thing for me about the fighter?.. wish they would have said "no" to the naked 1098 idea... and just done her from scratch..

sorry for the rants.. been that kinda day... it's all good...
