Anyone order a new Daytona?
Discussion
king Union Jack on the fairing, no thanks
Is 20K really that ridiculous these days?
I mean any suggestion it's not worth the price tag because of a ~250cc deficit compared to most halo sportsbikes is surely a bit silly?

It is and its not respectively.I mean any suggestion it's not worth the price tag because of a ~250cc deficit compared to most halo sportsbikes is surely a bit silly?
Can't see it making a good road bike and at that price you could get an ex BSB superstock bike for track.
They would seriously need to up the power and build quality of the Street RS to get anywhere near justifying it.

Don't get me wrong, that's where my money would go as well, and I don't even like Ducatis as a rule... But it's new versus used, Italian (German?) versus British, full fat sportsbike versus something (potentially) leaner, lower volume production, and a bit more special, even if it (maybe) will lack the finish of other high end products.I can see the attraction personally. I mean, a niche market works for cars doesn't it? Despite them often not offering the same performance or finish of more ubiquitous vehicles, and you know the British Journos will soil themselves over it which will keep residuals up.
My dealer said between 15- 17k, the order itself states 16k...no further news yet but I figured it was worth a punt in case they really nail it and I have, really, really wanted this bike for a while. Given the cost of the Speed RS it will have to be pretty spectacular to justify the price tag, but I also think it will held up well in future given the limited availability (231 for the UK) and name/heritage. It will be a high/dry day machine rather than my commuter!

How much is fully specced S1000RR? I rode it two weeks ago on my local hills, fully specced with carbon wheels. I swear first thing I thought "that reminds me of my 675 Daytona", light, steers quick, easy to ride, comfortable, not wide and easy to hook into the tank with the knees, great brakes, all the bells and whistles...I mean any suggestion it's not worth the price tag because of a ~250cc deficit compared to most halo sportsbikes is surely a bit silly?

Assuming it was the motorsport-liveried M-sport bike, £19700 over here.With D765 you will pay pretty penny just for exclusivity.
