2010 Ducati 1198s Corse Edition with 200 miles for sale in Rhode Island.
OK, I’m officially taking the 1198s Corse Edition off the list of rare sports bikes! This is the 4th 1198s Corse Edition that we have listed within the span of 3 weeks…
2010 DUCATI 1198S CORSE SE Special Edition. No reserve auction. This bike was bought locally at Razee Motorcycles. New retail is $24,995. Never driven in the rain.. Always heated garage kept, on a battery tender. Has only 200 miles. Never taken to a track day. Never been laid down. Never even been dirty. The bike is in perfect shape, no scratches, No dents or any other defects noted. This bike is pristine shape.The bike is Adult owned (I’m 51), is still in it’s break in period and hasn’t been over 5,000 rpm. . This is the Corse S with traction control and data logging. Oversize aluminum tank, Ohlins suspension, forged Marchisini wheels and factory Corse graphics. Comes from the factory with 2 ECU’s and two sets of pipes; the race (installed) as well as the factory exhaust and computer, passenger rear seat, and rear riding pegs. Included with the bike is the Ducati Rear stand that engages the hollow axle of the single sided swingarm.The factory race computer runs open loop allowing full control with a power commander. There is a new Power commander V usb wired to the harness with a “zero” map installed. It’s functional but no calibrations have been loaded. I also have all the manuals, extra key and all paperwork. Included with the bike is an optional Ducati factory alarm system (which they no longer make) that has not yet been installed. I have the clear title (no loans or leans) in hand.
According to the seller, this bike is build # 240 (out of how many Ducati doesn’t say). We have already listed three of these before, so I’ll skip on in the introduction, but you can read about them here. Instead, here’s a video of Cycle World giving the 1198s Corse Edition a good spanking at Motorland Aragon (sounds like a something out of Lord of The Rings):
The starting price of $18,000 sounds a bit high compared to others previously listed, but this one does have the lowest miles out of all of them (200 miles?!), but in any case, to drool over the nice pics (just make sure the keyboard is covered).

You should rename this site “Old guys who buy Ducatis, stick them in their living rooms then try to sell them”
Seriously, how rare is any Ducati from the 90s or 2000s? People buy these bikes to “collect” not ride. How many 15 year old bikes with 27 miles on it are you going to feature? These bikes are not rare. In fact if you found a Ducati that has actually been ridden and has some wear and tear then that would be a “Rare Sportbike”
How about turning this site in a Ducati free zone for a few months……
i kinda agree with tired of ducati… thats why i rode my ducs! my 996 and my 999s both have over 25000miles on em! most of those miles were put on em before they were a year old even… and all those miles were put on em in the hills around fresno, CA. i was once told that most people who buy ducatis just don’t have the time to ride them and thats why they have so little miles on them… apparently i made time to ride mine!
