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…
Update 4.26.2014: Posted the first time almost a year ago, this SPS is back with an opening reserve not met bid of $10k. Mike noted that it wore a $17k buy-it-now the first time, so bid accordingly.
