Motorcyclist has the Press Release from Ducati with a few pictures and the new Superbike replacement looks to be killer. The styling is more in line with the beautiful 916/998 bikes and will undoubtedly be more popular than the current 999. The new starting price of 14,995.00 USD will certainly help sales too. Here is some more info-
This incredible new machine produces 160hp and 90.4lbs/ft of torque, which results in making the 1098 the most powerful twin-cylinder motorcycle in the world, with the highest torque-to-weight ratio of any sport bike. In addition, the 1098 is also the lightest open class Superbike available, weighing 381 pounds.
The priority in every step of the 1098 development has been performance first.
Every system, every detail and every component has been studied and pared down to its essence in order to increase performance to the maximum. If it didn’t make the 1098 lighter, faster or deliver quicker lap times, it wasn’t considered.
