[Ducati] Jeremy McWilliams rides the 1098R

[Veloce916 at aol.com]

I'm kind of surprised this hasn't come up sooner. I'm not completely  
convinced that the 1098R isn't a heads up suiter for the  DesRR.   The 1098R is the 
closest thing to what the factory  is "racing that day" they have offered to 
the public since the TT1's and 2's  back in the day. You can't take anything 
away from the GP replica (which is more  like a 2006 actual GP machine as opposed 
to the traditional carbon and sticker  kit) by saying the 1098R (which is 
literally a WSBK starter bike, it  doesn't even share a frame with the 1098) is 
close in performance either. Just  having access to them both is kind of 
incredible. Time will tell but I think  it's going to be interesting to have two 
bikes that cutting edge in our  "playgroup".  
Either way, man is this a great time to be a Ducatisti!
