Those are quite nice, actually.

I think the 1098 is a nice evolution, taking some of the Desmo styling queues..

This could pull me out of Italian retirement. Just off to the bank to check the funds.

The front end on that 1200 looks like a cross between a CBR600 and a Triumph Sprint. Mind you I never thought the 916 series was particularly magnificent either. Guess that's why I'm an engineer and not an arty farty type.....

No, what i meant was I clearly don't have much of an eye for style.... Just never liked the look of the 916s. I did (do) like the 999 series though, and popular opinion seems to be against them.

Nobody else think the front of the 1200 looks like a Triumph Sprint though?

I thought the ducati 1098 looked a bit too much like it was sporting a bodged 998 badge, but didn't like to say.
