Might be the wrong year for a quick turnover, but this 1098S owner is ready to move on and luckily the bike looks great. The 1098S also had a relatively short model run, but it did include two Superbike world championships. 2007 Ducati 1098S for sale on eBay Playing some high stakes poker with…
(With thanks to George Thorogood) – Ducati returned their sportbikes to side-by-side headlights for 2007, and Troy Bayliss brought home the WSBK title aboard a 1098 F08. Even though it’s not rosso, the way this 1098S is constructed, updated, and photographed imparts the sport’s aggressive essence. 2008 Ducati 1098S for sale on eBay A further…
Spring is in the air, and new life is emerging from once-frozen ground. Bikes which spent the winter indoors hibernating are emerging from their dens (or living rooms, garages or storage units) hungry for miles. Of all the mileage-hungry bikes we have seen thus far this year, I propose this 2007 Ducati 1098 S example…
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…

In a little high-stakes WSBK poker, house designer Giandrea Fabbro penned a treatment reverent to the 916 and 996, and powerplant engineers prepared an 1100 with a few beneficial changes to the valve train – just before the rule czars increased twin displacement to 1200cc. The 1098 was a nice success for Ducati but was…
Not often you see a sorted current racebike on the market, especially one cosmetically restored. A Ducati 1098S, generally regarded as too much for the street, was the basis for this build which took place last winter. The bike competed in the nine-weekend Championship Cup Series in Florida and placed very consistently to win the…
Following the 999 of 2003-06, Ducati returned to a more horizontal look to the superbike with the 1098. Cadging another 100cc from World SuperBike rulemakers, the 1098 claimed 160 hp, but more importantly a small car-like 90 ft-lbs. of torque. Improvements were made to the valve train and cooling system, mostly ending overheating and making…
