Very nice bike. I had a 1098 a few years back, but it remains a gorgeous bike. In mine opinion it competes with the 916 for most beautiful bike ever.

916 is cool. I think the sport classic 1000 is the best looking bike. Just my opinion though.

These bikes are amazing and having no rider aids just adds to the rawness of them. I picked up my 2008 1098 about a year ago and pretty sure I will never part with it.

Motorcycles don't age like cars. Even then 15 years is nothing in modern terms. I bought a 1098 in 2011 and don't at all consider it old. If anything I consider it the last "real mans" bike. You had to know how to ride. My BMW s1000rr has traction control, wheelie control, abs, launch control, skid control. It's actually unnerving to not be in control

@@dorian_vlogs It's an absolutely amazing machine. I have one myself along with a 996. I think from a lineage perspective they are close to the top of the pack in relation to superbike evolution but no comparison between the two in terms of raw power and maneuverability. There's just something different about the 1098 (aside from the extra 50 hp). I think main shortcomings are the stock exhaust (doesn't have the grumble the bike deserves) and the weak turnover when starting (who cares).

@dorian_vlogs

Жыл бұрын

You are spot on! The more I ride it, the better it gets. It's hard to believe it's 15 years old. It's incredibly powerful, maneuverable and nimble but open it up and it's a beast. Powers up in second effortlessly. It's a great bike. With the correct rider, good luck catching it on the twisties. Mine has an arrow exhaust that's loud, as it should be and as far as cranking, mine starts right up on the first crank if it's been ridden that day but more often than not, first or second try when it's been sitting for days.

After seeing all those new high tech futuristic liter sport bike i had an itch to try and own Ducati 1198/ 1098, for me it was and still the sexiest bike ever made, the headlight, the under tail exhaust, the slimness, do you recommend to get one if it was low mileage and had one owner who took care of it ??
