1198
ENGINEERED BY THE STOPWATCH, DESIGNED BY THE RACE TRACK
The 1198 is a race bike, pure and simple. It is immediately recognisable for its purposeful, no-nonsense attitude. Performance is first and foremost in every detail.
Trademark Ducati features like the high tail section and compact front end combine with twin under-seat silencers and single-sided swingarm to express the sheer engineering beauty of aerodynamics and agility. Add the 1198 Testastretta Evoluzione engine as the hearts of the machine and the result is all-out performance Ducati Superbikes that look fast even when parked.
The 1198 features fully adjustable 43mm Showa forks, with an additional special low friction titanium oxide treatment applied to the sliders.
The 1198 uses engineering solutions taken directly from the World Championship winning 'R' model of Troy Bayliss. From engine capacity and specification to advanced electronics, many details that helped Troy to the 2008 World Superbike title have been applied to the 2009 road-going 1198. Never before has so much factory rider feedback been put into production.
2009 SRP £12,995.00 inc PDI and 2 years unlimited mileage warranty and recovery service. Registration fee, number plates and road fund licence are not included. All prices valid from 1st December 2008. Ducati reserves the right to make changes to any pricing without obligation to give prior notice.
