regarding the 959 corse, It's been a while since Ducati did a real special smaller displacement superbike that was really special. The 749R comes to mind and I was really keen to get one after having an S model but the prices of the 749R were so close to a 1098 I just couldn't do it.

I have a 959 and do agree with you guys about a trick 959 being a great idea but I don't see them doing anything except bolt on bits :(

Agree. Prices are so close that it will be very difficult to make a "Special" yet fit into specific price..

You're describing the difference between a "real" homologation special and a bike built for sales purposes. The 749R was Ducati's homologation special for World SuperSport racing, and it was the last one since Ducati pulled out of WSS after that. Ducati literally lost money selling those bikes, that's not something you should expect as a standard course of business. I had one, never should have sold it. Subsequently, the 848 Evo Corse was the next middleweight special, and yes it was "bolt-on bits" added to a base bike, but came with lots of great stuff for a reasonable premium over the base bike, and it looked awesome. When we get a used one in, it sells out right away, people still love that bike.
 
Alongside the 821, we all know that Ducati will premiere the new V4 and THREE new models, one of which, the Italian press recently revealed will be a Scrambler 1100.

The new Scrambler will be based on the engine from the Monster 1100 EVO and naturally Euro 4 compliant. 3 versions will be available - a basic version, such as the Icon 800, a classic design with spoked wheels and a more sporty version with Ohlins suspension and double discs at the front.

Ah, Sherpa, I'd like to be done too but as long as we are breathing and riding, Ducati Marketing will find a way to pry open our pocketbooks once more. Local dealer knows more than he's willing to specify but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a 230 hp V4 R model that spins to 15K rpm. :eek: There goes the budget. :mad:

Haha. So true!
 
I've ridden BMW S1krr in the race track and its boring comparing to Pani. Not saying its not capable or not fast...just boring.

What make's it more boring? Engine characteristic. Especially for street.

I won't go into it too much and bore you, In Australia BMW do an Invited track day once a year (they didn't do it this year) and you can take your bike and ride a selected BMW I always choose the latest S1000RR to ride, love the BMW but after you get off it and onto a Pani it all becomes clear.

Nothing wrong with the BMW but it aint a 90VEE :) or L which ever floats your boat.

Couldn't agree more. I have both and I pick the Pani every time going to the track.
 
Maybe I would need to try out the S1K myself to really know what you guys talk about.
In the mean im gonna stick to my pani until something turn my eye!
