The Ducati 1098 is a 1099 cc L-twin sport bike manufactured by Ducati. It was announced on November 8, 2006 for the 2007 model year and replaces the 999. The 1098 makes a manufacturer claimed 160 horsepower, 90.4 ft-lb torque, and weighs 173kg. These figures gives the 1098 the highest torque-to-weight ratio of any production sport bike ever made. The 1098 shares more design elements with the older 998 than with its predecessor the 999, such as horizontally placed headlights and a non-integrated exhaust system. This step back to a more traditional Ducati design has been welcomed by many Ducati fans who criticized the design of the 999. MSRP of the base 1098 is US $14,995. The 1098 S is priced at $19,995 while the limited edition 1098 S Tricolore is $24,995.
