@ SteveGunn2, that is so funny and true, I cant afford 1198, but I have a 10 year-old 900ss, and it has the same effect, I have used that line too many times.
xexe sure but i had CR 250 – NSR 250 – XT SUPERMOTARD- CRF 450 06 – GSXR K6 HOTI TO HOTI ,so i sell the GSXR K6 bifore 5days and i will go this new week for the dream i had ^.^ DUCATI 1198 S REDDD. am a fucking 500hp car turbo racer good boy but this machines are the paradise when u drive
have had a 900 ninja back in the day…a ZX-11 which i LOVED!! a yzf1000R1 and now a ducati 1198s…this is my first ducati and it certainly won’t be my last…the acceleration is insane and it handles like it is on rails…love the bike and it looks like a work of art moving at 180 mph!! lol
If been on my “Home”-track yesterday and beat my selfrecord when suddenly a black arrow came from behind and fucked my ass…
I’m driving an R1-Racing Version but i had no chance against this fucking shit Ducati Racing Version…
So time to save mone and buy one:D
@triumph1974 I’m sorry, but I think you’re the one playing too many games. I’ve took on people who rode zx12r kawa’s, with a fart old duc 900 ss, without a problem. Took on 1liter jap bikes with a 748 easily. Paper figures mean squat. An 150hp ducati, on a track, runs circles around whatever in line 4 jap bike you get. If there’s a turn, ducati wins. Period. On a straight line though, not so much. Jap bikes are getting better though, and the difference isn’t as noticeable as it was 10 years ago.
I can’t wait till I can drive a motorbike when I’m older. :3

Nice bike, rubbish review. I’d like to see more top gear like bike reviews.
The only downside to owning one of these is that you become sexually aroused every time you look at it…thus making it uncomfortable to ride.
@triumph1974 First off, I’m not 16. If you didn’t notice, my profile doesn’t say anything. It only has age because that is manditory. Too many stalkers online no to have really any info online. Euroshop in Waco allows test rides. There are dealers that still do that. I wanted to ride an S but they didn’t have one. I’m thinking about getting one some time in the future. It was a test ride. I bet you haven’t ever even ridden a duc.. or supersport at all.
@HunterPilot24 Well so long as you believe your little fantasy that a Ducati dealer let you, a 16 year old, ride off into the sunset on an 1198R. Don’t tell me, you put down your piggy bank as a deposit?
Stick to playing Xbox in your Mommy’s basement.
@triumph1974 I have a CBR600rr. I did ride the new 1198 at a ducati dealer very recently. Euroshop in Waco, Texas. The one I rode was the R model. Now, I have not ridden the newest GSXR or any BMW supersport, but I have ridden a few GSXRs before. The fact that those two bikes may look better on a spec sheet doesn’t make them better. Get your head out of the spec sheet and actually ride the bike before you go putting down Ducati.
@HunterPilot24 take a look at the figures for the new GSXR or BMW S1000RR also, they both put ducati to shame.
Maybe you should think about not playing computer games and actually get a bike, then you can base an opinion on experience.
@HunterPilot24 You are clearly some dumbass who has never even owned a Supersport etc, If you think Ducatis “ooze” torque you are retarded, no sport bike does. You just make it clear that you have never riden one but you just listen to all the hype.
Here are the figures for you.
1999 Ducati 996 makes 93 Nm torque @ 8000 RPM
2000 R1 makes 108 Nm @ 8500 RPM but the R1 has way more power.
2006 Ducati 999 makes 108 Nm at 8500 RPM
2006 R1 makes 108 Nm @ 10000 RPM
@triumph1974 The bikes that are higher displacement ARE the twins. Ducati makes L twins because they are simply superior to the I4. Inline 4 engines may sound cool at 15k RPM but they don’t get torque until they get there. Ducati’s ooze torque everywhere. Btw, the only L4 supersport in production by ducati right now is the Desmosedici which if flat out unbeatable on the track.
@HunterPilot24 My facts are straight, DUCATI NEEDS HIGHER DISPLACMENT TO BE COMPETETIVE. They choose to run a twin, they also run an “L” four but it is still higher displacement, so they could compete on an even playing field should they choose to.
I have riden Ducatis and own an R1, what have you riden?
Theya re good looking bikes, dont get me wrong. But……..they are inferior to the Japanese or even now German inline fours………FACT
@triumph1974 You are missing one very important fact. The Ducati 848 is compared to 600cc jap bikes and the 1198 is compared to liter bikes. The reason they have more displacement than their competitors is the number of cylinders. Ducati supersports only have two cylinders. It is quite fair to have 20% more displacement if you have 50% fewer cylinders. Get your facts straight before talking down.
when will there be a ducati superbike with both, traction control and abs?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
those 1198′s sound BEAST
@pantsman29 they can if they wanted to, but they have the wrong people design their bikes. buell’s are nice but still most cant stack up with the jap bikes. cars on the other hand, we have recently gotten a lot better in my opinion although im still not a huge fan of american cars.

We don’t because all of the profits that car and motorcycle companies make that SHOULD go to research and development goes instead to bonuses. We have extremely fine engineers here in the U.S., but we’ve got a bunch of assholes calling the shots that refuse to listen to what those “below” them say that can improve a product. The Japanese have a developed system to do just that….
Cause they try putting Harley Davidson engines on their sportsbike! WTF is wrong with them!
