What I’d love to do next in our celebration month is to hear all your stories related to RSBFS. Did you get back the bike you had when you first started riding sportbikes? Did you find the centerpiece of your collection? Did you sell a bike here you regret? Did you meet some of the…
After the relative failure of the 999 series of superbikes, Ducati needed a win, badly, and they got one with the 1098.
