2009 Ducati 1198 S, RNOThe new Ducati 1198, while maintaining the same look as the previous 1098, is in fact a totally new bike. The 1198, which produces a powerful 170hp from its new Testastretta Evoluzione engine, and has a dry weight of just 377 lbs, incorporates all of the World Superbike technology derived directly from the 2008 World Championship winning race bike of Troy Bayliss. The 1198 is powered by the powerful Testastretta Evoluzione, a liquid cooled, L-Twin, Desmodromic engine, the crowning glory of Ducati s development and perfection of the L-Twin engine, that produces 170hp @ 9,750rpm and a class-beating 97lb-ft of torque @ 8,000rpm. From data acquisition systems integrated as standard equipment, to ingenious dual construction methods for its weight-saving single-sided swingarm and to the road-going Ducati Traction Control, Ducati s innovative trackside solutions continue to flow. Bike has Termignoni exhaust, dry clutch, Brembo brakes, zero gravity windshield, and Marchesini wheels.
