Some interesting color choices further down the model range and the S is available in an almost equally sexy black. Once again, the 1098R is born out of many a battle on the track and last year’s MotoGP World Champion, Aussie Casey Stoner showed just how dominant Ducati can be. Ducati also won the Italian championship with Marco Borciani riding last year’s 999 and the 1098 has already taken several victories, including a win at Daytona’s Races of Champions and FIM Superstock. The bike itself is the lightest, most powerful machine ever to leave the Bologna factory gates with the R version boasting a power output of 180hp and the road legal S version a staggering 160hp.
