Nice review. But, don't forget that, prior to 1970, all Ducatis were singles. The last Desmo single was available in 1974 so it's quite fitting that they should bring one back exactly fifty years later.

In 2006, Aprilia had a 550cc 77º V-twin in this class, the SXV550. Wasn't very reliable, but it sure was a hotrod.

The 698 is about $10,000 more expensive than a yearly run out KTM 690 SMCR here in Aus. The glaring question for me is: Is it actually $10,000 better? Especially given if you want the wheelie assist from Ducati you have to add in the Termi Exhaust which is an almost $5,000 AUD option. That's a $30,000 bike. I'm just not seeing the value.

One trick pony… beyond hooning around a cart track it’s fairly useless in any of the day to day parameters we might commonly expect from a street MC. Marvelous execution of the “super Moto” form factor is undeniable. Essentially a novelty for slotting into someone’s collection of MC.

I have a ktm 690 smc it's awesome for riding streets over a 450 that has short maintenance intervals and you feel guilty hoping on the highway with. It's a more more street able sumo. I've also gone offroading with it

I can remember when Ducati only made singles. I persuaded my friend to buy a 450 desmo and another to buy a much cheaper 200cc non desmo Daytona, originally destined for the US market, I assume. Both were really great bikes.

@@splodge5714 I don't think you're right on this one. I think it will be bought by people with money, as a toy,, and not in very large numbers. A lot of these people will take to the track with them. But regardless of who's right, a track launch makes perfect sense if the goal is to showcase the advanced electronic aids, which would be much harder to do on the roads.

I can understand R1's and Fireblades going round the track but last week it was the GSX8R on a track lunch in Spain. I'll wait for someone like TMF to test it on the roads in the UK.
