The Ducati 1098 was a sports machine made by the Italian motorcycle manufacturer from 2007 to 2009. The bike was also joined by the 1098S and 1098R versions and only for 2007, the Ducati 1098S Tri-Colore.
In 2007, the Italian motorcycle maker launched the Ducati 1098S Tri-Colore, a special edition machine with a special livery, with the Italian flag colors and gold finish on the Trellis frame and cast-aluminum wheels. In addition, the bike packed a 102 dB Termignoni racing muffler kit with a dedicated ECU.
In all other departments, it was identical to the 1098S version, packing the same 1,099cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine that delivered an output power of 160 hp at 9,750 rpm and 122 Nm (90 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.
The power produced by the engine, combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 173 kg (381 lbs), pushed the bike to a top speed of 274 kph (170 mph).
The bike's handling was achieved by a 43 mm fully adjustable upside-down Ohlins telescopic fork on the front. In contrast, the rear suspension was handled by a fully adjustable Ohlins TTXR shock absorber on the rear.
As for the stopping power, the 2007 Ducati 1098S Tri-Colore packed two 330 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 245 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel, delivering excellent braking performance.
