I can say that its a fabulous bike that has the best suspension and the best brakes that I have seen in my whole life. The torque is out of the world and all other specs are pretty much very similat to the ZX10R. The feel of its V Twin engine is substantially different and the sound it generates with the Termignoni exhaust system cheers me very much. In a race between the 1098 and ZX, i dunno what the result would be. I suspect that the Ducati has a slight advantage (1199 cc) and is a bit lighter than the ZX. I already feel like a bigamist.
10R will walk the Ducati.
