Back to a more classic Ducati Superbike look after the 999 years, the 1098 revitalized sales and led to a WSBK win and Bayliss replica. The -S model has upmarket dampers, exhaust, and wheels, and the EVO testastretta engine and revised cooling system were welcome updates. Nicely farkled, this 1098S looks ready for a boat or plane ride.
2007 Ducati 1098S ( Puerto Rico ) for sale on eBay
With 160 hp and 90 ft.-lbs. torque, the 1098 reviewed as too much for the street, even as the desmodromic valve adjustment intervals increased. The chrom-moly steel trellis frame, here finished in red, has top line Ohlins at either end, with forged and machined Marchesini alloys underneath. Brakes are car-sized Brembo monoblocs, the billet calipers fitted to a street-legal bike for the first time. Waving goodbye to the underseat canister muffler, the 2-into-1-into two system with Termignoni carbon mufflers. Digital data-logging dash has track-oriented functions.

The seller has either been a regular at the Ducati shop in suburban San Juan, or might be a skilled hobbyist – just wish they’d taken more pictures. Since it’s a territory, bringing the bike over from PR shouldn’t be troublesome, though shipping might run into a little money. The owner mentions some maintenance but not a cam belt change / valve adjustment, which should’ve happened already. A distinctive looking red and grey, this -S will need more pictures or an in-person inspection, but appears to be a lead worth pursuing…
