What do you guys really think about your color choice now that you have lived with your 1098 Duc for a while? Any regrets?

I tried like crazy to get a yellow 1098, that color is stunning when seen in-person and is my favorite. A real jaw-dropper. The gray frame is the perfect compliment. Oddly, the camera seems to lose the excitement of yellow, it must be seen in-person. Doesn't seem to matter full sun or indoors, yellow rocks!

I ended up with the "safe color" red and it's OK, no regrets other than red bikes are everywhere. It would be boring on most other bikes.

What about black 1098 (s), never seen one...


Maybe TriColore is for guys who can't decide on color? (j/k). They're the ultimate, I just prefer monochromatic paint schemes.

I guess for me it had to be red. I've always associated that color with things Italian so no other color would have been acceptable to me. I don't dislike the others, it's just that red is what I wanted.

Red was the choice but then again, there were no blacks available when I was purchacing the bike. That and I didn't want to wait.

Besides, Red is faster.

i wanted black, but i would have had to purchase an "S", so i ended up getting a red 1098. although i did see yellow one yesterday in person and it is a damn sexy color on that bike!

Red isnt the "safe color" it a gorgeous color. I have no regrets, although the yellow is gorgeous too. If the 's' came in yellow, I probably would've had a real hard time deciding.

no-brainer

Elevens,

Red, of course! Is there any other color?

We have three colors in the Italian sports vehicle world, red, yellow and black. Red is the sporty color if it has wheels, yellow is bold and the look at me color, black is conservative and sexy. Me, my fourth yellow duc what else, I almost switched to red this time but nah….I didn’t want to buck the trend after10 years!

Same here! If I was ever fortunate enough to be able to own a Ferrari or Lambo, they would have to be red also! Italian = Red

When I envisioned myself riding a Ducuti. Yellow was my number one choice. Red is a little boring and yellow is fun and faster.

 

[highside7r]

I wanted the yellow to be different, but black was my first choice to match my cage (car). I'll take your word on the Yellow as I have about 2 weeks before I pick mine up.

I agree with you. I got a yellow one as second choice but was amazed by how great it looked. Unfortunately I killed a deer with it after barely a month and its replacement should arrive any day, a red S. Oh the humanity!

 

[qqqqqqqman]

Agree....1st Italian superbike for me = RED. If I had a Ferrari, it'd be red for the same reason. Wait...my 300ZXtt and all my bikes are red, lol

i wanted the black, but i got a yellow

 

[Kerry]

you had a hard time finding a yellow? when i was looking for my red one all i could find were yellow yellow yellow.

amen on the Italian=Red

and my next one will be red too

 

[Ten-6]

Once you go black you'll never go back

 

[FlyerLen]

I’ve always felt that anything Italian with wheels HAS GOT to be red! Mine is red, VERY red, and I love it! That said, the yellows are indeed stunning in person, and the Tris, pictures don’t do them any justice; they really have to be seen to be appreciated. I’ve only seen one in black, so they are exclusive, but it just didn’t “pop.” It was nice, but it didn’t make my heart skip a beat…

 

[kengoddard]

No regrets on Yellow.

I agree for the purest red is the one but Yellow called my name and I’m loving every bit of it. I have yet to see another yellow on the road.

 

[Fever]

does anyone have a pic of all three colors together , red, black and yellow?

 

[SportBikeMike]

I'd like to see a yellow one or black one in person some time. Amazingly, my bike is still the only 1098 I've ever seen in person....

 

[Visitor Q]

Black is the only color I have not seen in person yet but I have not be disappointed with any of them when I saw them up close.

I decided on red myself but if I was in the market for an "S", black would have been my #1 choice. I think the bike looks great with the red frame and all.

There all so nice, you really can't go wrong IMO.
