i put my deposit down for a black S. was looking for an '08 but possibaly an '07 if there is a cancellation. no firm price increase or availability on '08 from the local dealer. was leaning towards an '08 as i would think some of the initial new model issues would be addressed.
the S will be taking the spot of recently departed '04 Aprilia Mille and be sitting next to my '00 996. the Mille was a nice bike but I will take a few extra hassels and headaches to own a Ducati (this will be my 4th). I could have sold my 996 for more than what I got for the Mille if that tells you something.
The boys on the Aprilia site have a real inferiority complex with the new 1098 and keep trying to rationalize why the Ape is the superior Italian bike.
