I never got the RC8, the styling is truly horrible and while i accept it stood out among some of the other bikes of the era it was IMO for all the wrong reasons

With the 1098 with the similar frame and engine Ducati just got the styling so much better

It's hideous. I wouldn't have one even if it was free.
