    New Ducati superbike

    from press relese.........

    Ducati North America announces the international launch and North American pricing for the new 1098 Superbike.

    This incredible new machine produces 160hp and 90.4lbs/ft of torque, which results in making the 1098 the most powerful twin-cylinder motorcycle in the world, with the highest torque-to-weight ratio of any sport bike. In addition, the 1098 is also the lightest open class Superbike available, weighing 381 pounds.

    The priority in every step of the 1098 development has been performance first.

    Every system, every detail and every component has been studied and pared down to its essence in order to increase performance to the maximum. If it didn’t make the 1098 lighter, faster or deliver quicker lap times, it wasn’t considered.

    Maybe quicker than the K6 gixxer, the K7 thou think that'll be a little more powerful.

    Pity about the Ducati price tag.
    Those who dont learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.
