I’ve always been a fan of the heritage Ducati Red for their sports bike - 916/996/998, 999, and now the 1098. Personally, I think the tricolore is pretty ugly, but I like subtle. Even though they are rare, the black versions look great too. Anyway, it looks like Ducati will be releasing yellow and black to compliment the red and the tricolore. Check it:
Ducati adds extra color options to the 1098 Powersports Business Thursday December 28, 2006 Ducati North America’s 1098 Superbike will be made available in two additional colors, black and yellow.

History or Hype. I may be viewed as strange but I am not a fan of the Ducati styling. I see nicer lines in a GSXR or a CBR. I have never had the opportunity to ride one but for the inflated price I had better peak after 2 minutes.
