probably not going to be cheap, but i'll bet it comes in at less £££ than a 1098..

this is the first time a "new" bike has got me this excited since about 1994, was mildly aroused by the R6 when that first arrived .. but this is something else.

[RedexRobB]

Nothing seems to arouse me much these days so to speak! Nothing since i first set eyes on a ZXR anyway, pnly thing that ive really wanted is a T675.

1098 come in at about 12K dont they? bringing out a 898 soon arent they.

1098 is silly money.. pretty though .. but in some ways its "just another bike" same with the 675 i thought i really wanted one.. then realised i just wanted it more than i wanted a cbrr/r6/gixxer/zx6r.. which doesnt really count.. i always thought id want a ducati.. then i got one.. (2001 750ss) rode it 4 miles, put it in the garage for a month and swapped it for 2 broken zxr400's .. I think i could stand and look at and "appreciate" an early 916 for weeks .. dont actually think i'd enjoy riding it though.. mates the same with his MV Agusta F4-750.. think he's done under 500 miles in 4 years .. just cant be arsed .. rides his ducati 996sps instead .. (yeh, i know, flash git) this RC8 though .. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

only thing that could possibly ruin it.. if its a slow revving tractor-ish donk like a ducati twin .. if only it was a V4.. or better still a 2-stroke !

as long as it sounds like a motogp bike, ill be happy.

ive no idea what current litre class bikes go for new, but "£10,695 on the road" doesnt sound too bad... does it ?

[beatrootboy]

Is it just me or is the test rider in the vid really freakin tall? Or is really that compact, the front end looks really short/compact i'd love to see one in the flesh,

[zimm]

im hoping he's 5'8", then i might have a chance of getting me feet on the floor !

80cm seat height apparently.. which is what .. 30mm higher than a zxr400 .. ??

[RedexRobB]

Not seent he 1098 in the flesh but ive seen picture of other peoples, but am i the only one that things it only looks good fromthe front? Rest of its not that great i dont think.

[masterofinsanity]

the only thing i'd change on it is the headlights, replace them with the duke style projector lights.
