I'm not the only one to compare the 1098 to a japanese bike. Many Ducati purists were extremely disappointed with the styling. It's very Yamaha. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's not Italian or Ducati.
heres where im confused....are you saying the 1098 looks like a japanese bike? because i can see the 1098 looking like a yamaha. but the desmosedici looks nothing like a yamaha, i've spent the last 10 minutes looking at an R1 and the desmo and they share nothing similar in the looks department. IMO
