The Ducati 1098, launched in 2007, marked a celebrated return to classic Ducati superbike design. Following the controversial Pierre Terblanche-designed 999, the 1098 brought back the single-sided swingarm and underseat exhausts made famous by the 916. Its Testastretta Evoluzione engine was a marvel, producing 160 hp and making it the most powerful production twin-cylinder motorcycle of its day.
Collectors prize the 1098 for its combination of traditional aesthetics and formidable analog performance. It represents a high point for Ducati before rider aids like cornering ABS and wheelie control became standard. The higher-spec 1098 S, with its Öhlins suspension and lightweight wheels, and the ultra-rare 1098 R homologation special are the most sought-after variants. The R model is particularly special, featuring a larger 1198cc engine and Ducati's first-ever use of traction control on a production bike.
Buying Tips
- Insist on a complete service history. The timing belts require replacement every 2 years or 15,000 miles, and the Desmo valve service is costly but critical.
- Check the plastic fuel tank for swelling or distortion, a common issue caused by ethanol in fuel. Many have been replaced with aftermarket aluminum tanks.
- Verify all electronics function correctly. Look for dash error codes and ensure the immobilizer works with its key.
- Know the differences between models. The S adds Öhlins suspension and Marchesini wheels, while the R has a larger 1198cc engine and specific chassis components.
