MOTORCYCLE GUIDE

The Ducati 1098s Testastretta Evoluzione is the most powerful production V-twin ride engine ever, makeing 160bhp and has 92ftlb of force at 8000rpm. The Ducati 999 Testastretta engine was completely redesigned from top to underside and using all the noesis Ducati hold gained from racing motorcycles in Humanity Superbikes and MotoGP. Pretty more every section in the Ducati 1098s engine has been denaturized and the bike has a brobdingnagian growth in quality from 3500rpm all the way to the redline over the 999.

 

The Ducati 1098 is exquisite. The forks combined with the standard Pirelli tyres allow you to explore the far side of leaning and make you recalibrate what you thought was possible on a motorcycle. The Ducati 1098s forks give amazing feedback, and combine that with a really neutral chassis that’s not quite as quick to turn from side-to-side as some of the Japanese 1000cc motorcycle and you’ve got probably the best handling 1000-class road motorcycle ever. You can be clumsy with it, hang-off or not hang-off, it’s your choice and the Ducati 1098 will do exactly what you tell it, letting you bounce from kerb-to-kerb. Although the Ducati 1098 is the basic version, Ducatis new dream motorcycle still isnt wanting for much, certianly not in terms of sports bike goodies. Suspension, brakes etc are all premier league on the Ducati 1098 and then theres the sublime datalogger dash and exquisite styling.
