Used Bike Guide 2007-2011 DUCATI 1098/1198 AND 1098S/1198S
When it comes to Ducati sportsbikes, there are certain boxes that absolutely must be ticked for them to be classed as true Bologna-built thoroughbreds. One or two of these boxes may be controversial, especially in light of modern trends, but if you are a Ducati purist this is how the checklist to superbike perfection goes…
Box one is simple: a Ducati sportsbike has to look beautiful. Box two is equally uncomplicated: a Ducati sportsbike has to sound amazing. Box three is a bit more open to debate: a proper Ducati sportsbike has to be a V-twin. Box four iseditions should you wish to push the budget, but these are all above and beyond the basics. And there is one family of Ducati sportsbikes that ticks every box and even knocks off the bonuses as well – the truly fantastic 1098 and 1198 models.
