To all

Just a little first impressions about the Ducati 998

-The steering effort is heavier
-Brakes are fantastic
-It loves to rev but power comes in much later in the RPM range
-Love the six speed trans, but I am still getting used to the tall first gear and the close ratio 2-6 gears

In comparrison to my S1W, seat of the pants it feels like the S1W accelerates harder through the RPM range, turns in sharper and is more rewarding at the speeds that won't tax your driving priveledges.

Conclusion

LIKE the Ducati 998
LOVE the S1W

Mike
