less horsepower delivered poorly and the worst handling bike of that production year among similar displacement superbikes.
anyone that compares the 1*98's handling to a pani and thinks they are similar should really not be riding superbikes....

I had a 848
I thought it was nimble but I agree the panigale is way way better
I also have zero clue how I put this on the Sl forum May have had to much to drink who knows
I guess the point was to question the balance of Ducati identity over progress and innovation, I know the panigale is the quint essential of Ducati innovation but occasionally I miss some of the old quirks of previous Ducati superbikes.
And yes I know why the bike was made the way it was to win world championships go faster than the competition

Historically the first Ducati superbikes had wet clutches . I think the dry clutch was just a glitch a little bit like pop up headlights in a car .

Maybe not until 1986 was the first dry clutch in a production Ducati which was a pantah motor in the later F1 bike .

After they went to Pantahs. All bevel drives were wet clutch.
