What a masterpiece! Compared to the 1098, the engine is lighter, stronger and has a bigger bore and stroke, taking the capacity up to 1198.4cc, bang on the WSB limit for twin-cylinder machines. Peak power is 180bhp, which rises to 186bhp with the carbon fibre racing Termis and race ECU fitted (supplied). Torque is a staggering 99.1ftlb. Compared to the standard 1098 or 1098S the ‘R’ is an animal. It’s almost impossible to keep the front wheel on the floor in the first three gears and it keeps on pulling hard for as long as the road or track allows. Throttle response from the twin-injector fuel-injection system is perfect.
It will be accompanied by the original owner’s manual and service book, as well as its , and a spare key and card. The bike is recorded of having only a staggering 70kms from new. It has been in a private collector's garage. It is noted that it is also an Aussie delivered bike. This bike is completely OEM and nothing has been added to the bike. This bike comes with no existing rego but can come with a service if you would like to get this bike back on the road if not storing it on display for a center living room piece.
Loaded with all the usual goodies you expect from a limited edition Ducati the 1098R came with a carbon bellypan, tank infils and front mudguard. There’s the Ohlins suspension and steering damper, Marchesini forged aluminium wheels, single-sided swingarm, on-board datalogging system, MotoGP replica dash…the list goes on. The piece de resistance, of course is the traction control system. With the race pipes and ECU fitted the traction control is enabled and you’ve got eight modes to choose from. On setting ‘eight’ there’s full-on traction control and on number ‘one’ the system allows a fair degree of wheelspin. We tried the system on the track at the bikes launch in Jerez and was blown away with how good it was. Once the system kicks in the ignition retards and it feels like you’ve run into a rev-limiter. On the number ‘eight’ setting we reckon it would be impossible to highside!
You can view this Motorcycle Monday to Saturday 9am-5pm. We are located at 1047 Bourke Street, Waterloo, NSW
