Veloce - it's gone.

St.Neots motorcycles have been around for years, they have survived where others have failed by refusing to be solely Ducati dealers. Ducati simply do not sell enough bikes for a dealer to survive by seliing them alone.

I took a look at the new 1098 a couple of weeks ago and it is a very nice bike; I hope they sell well for Ducati's sake, but if I was a dealer I wouldn't hold my breath. Time will tell once the usual 'new bike hype' from the press has returned to normal.
