After the polarizing style of the 999’s vertically-stacked headlights, Ducati went back to the single-sided swingarm, under-tail exhaust and side by side eyes made famous on the 916. This time, however, such features boasted a modern twist courtesy of Giandrea Fabbro. All of this took shape in the form of the range-topping 1098, a bike that Cycle World stated “isn’t just an improvement, it’s a revelation.” Of course, in typical Ducati fashion, the Bologna-based manufacturer also introduced a smaller sibling — sharing the frame and bodywork — known as the 848. This listing is a combination of both: a 848 model with the engine from a 1098.
This example is VIN: ZDM1XBMV9BB015593. The seller acquired it in October 2025 from Chris Boy, the owner of Moto Corse Performance in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
During his ownership, the seller has covered five miles. The odometer has been replaced (presumably at the time it was converted to a track bike), true mileage is unknown, but the seller states that the zero mile 1098 engine at time of install has done approximately 700 miles.
“Regretfully parting with this incredible, sorted machine to focus entirely on my upcoming regional racing program. I am stepping up to compete in the WERA Southeast Superstock class on a Panigale V2 starting in 2027, and the proceeds from this sale will directly fund that race program. Professionally set up and maintained by the amazing folks at Motocorse Performance in Ft Lauderdale, Florida. This gorgeous machine is perfect for racing in the AHRMA series or to utilize as the ultimate weapon for trackdays. This bike has been a joy to own, but it’s time to lean into the new platform. ”
