Description
Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
After the polarizing style of the 999’s vertically-stacked headlights, Ducati went back to the single sided swingarm, exhaust under the taillights, and side by side eyes made famous on the 916 – this time with a modern twist.
It was well-received – Cycle World said “On the road the 1098S isn’t just an improvement, it’s a revelation.” The 1099cc Testastretta Evoluzione twin engine produced a claimed 160 horsepower and 90 lb-ft of torque at the crank, good for a 10.015 second quarter-mile time and a top speed of 173 miles per hour.
Ducati offered an upgraded S model, which featured Öhlins suspension, forged Marchesini wheels, and some extra carbon fiber bits.
This example is VIN: ZDMH700AA7B005921. It came to Iconic as an import from Japan. Please note that as a Japanese import, this does not have certain emissions decals that California would require to get a California title.
The odometer shows 16,937 kilometers (10,524 miles).
