[Ducati] 1098 (second look)

[Alec Moss]

I'm with you Kevin.  Cycle World also devoted quite a few pages to the 1098.
I tried to explain to my wife why it is so beautiful and she just shrugged,
but admitted that it is "very attractive".  Hey, that's a start.  I'm still
trying to get her to understand why I need a 900 SSSP.  "You already have
TWO bikes".  Sheeee.
