The 1098/848/1198 are the best looking bikes ever made imo.

[@jlove24]

I completely agree, undermount exhaust and single sided swing arm looks amazing

[@englishsteel-nz6im]

Yeah it's like a refreshed take on the 916 but still looks modern.

[@russssh]

I had an 1198S. Sold it for a 1299S. Sold the 1299S for a 1098R which I’ll never sell. All incredible but nothing beats the character and rawness of the Testastretta and trellis frame bikes.

[@johnnyutah1825]

2005 Duc 999s is my fav daily ride. Trackwise I like the 1098s cause it does not have all the traction control stuff and still has the ducati twin with dry clutch sound. It's a harder bike to ride fast in the track, but the experience is 100% cause it's analog and puts the ownership to the rider and not the ECU.

[@dancarlos1216]

The 899-1299 have a major aero advantage over most bikes and especially the older ones, pop the fairings off and look at all the duct work and airflow trickery. The aero on the newer Ducati makes it feel slower due to less wind buffeting.

[@playur2547]

True Biscotti Boi here 👌 🥖

[@botiill_6475]

I think the comparison between the 1199 and the 1098 would be more closer to the truth about the progress ducati have. Here you have the newer little ducati and the older big ducati and i don't think this shows the reality. Or the 848 959 comparison. Love you guys! Waiting for the Booooosa!

[@comeoniknoweverything8227]

1198 not 1098

[@michaelscott1060]

Have an 1198s meshed into my 998, everything is 1198s apart from trellis frame and bodywork. It’s 173hp on the Dino and weighs 173kg (measured) with half a tank. Cracking bike to ride.

[@bikerbros8693]

848/10/1198 are in my oppinion one of the most real superbikes you can buy, so much feedback and rawness... ive got a 848 evo with an microtek ecu/bitubo cartridge kit/ nemesis TC and a cordona QS, let me tell you if you can ride even higher powered bikes will struggle with you, the powerband and curve is just perfect for canyon rides and curve hunting.

[@patkawasaki771]

I do think that the elimination of the cam belts on the panigale series is most important to owners. Huge impact on ownership costs.

[@englishsteel-nz6im]

Def. Hence their popularity and sales in current time, they aren't that expensive of bikes to own anymore. But man I love the 848 lol....

[@alexturnqest6202]

What I’d wanna see is the time difference on a track between these two Duc’s.

[@meds4all]

When I saw Josh Herrin post he'd be in a Ducati this year, I asked him to do this. A 1098s vs the new he's riding for the Super Sport class. I would even be willing to take my 1098s to North America Warhorse for Josh to have access to one.

[@benchaggaresmusic]

You guys should do 916, 1098, and 1199 review

[@Druwoods]

That's what I've been saying.

[@rudolphpyatt4833]

And, if they can get one, an on track session with a Supermono.

[@charlieryan1736]

Thanks for another interesting comparison video 👍🏻

[@thelensguy6050]

I almost pulled the trigger on a monster 620i but then I thought, one more year and I can get the 848 at least, I think that if I go Ducati it should be neck deep, at least I have Ducati branded revit gloves 😅

[@yzfr6i]

If you get an 848 try to get a 2012 or 2013 Corsa. They have some nice upgrades over the standard 848 (quick shift, T/C, ohlins shock, bigger brakes). Try to stay away from the earlier 848 that doesn't have the evo engine.

[@thelensguy6050]

@@yzfr6i I got last month a 2008 version of the 848 in pearl white , Huraaaaaaaaay!!!!! It's in quite good condition, lots of carbon and the TERMI!!!!! sounds like a beast, scares everyone out of their beds when I go to work, WAKE UP!!! :D has 21.800 Km done so I am already thinking about 24k service, desmo, belts, all fluids, fork, chain, etc... I saw a standard 24k cost with the list of things done for this bike, its 840 $, honestly, its not that bad and I got the bike at a good price, under the market, this bike may be an investment in the long run if I take care of it :D I know you said to stay away but all the evos are way too expensive, they are going into the panigale territory and it makes no sense ...also a higher compression engine is a more stressed engine with a lower lifespan. For me, this standard one did the trick just fine.

[@codystrom8708]

1098 and 1198 are absolutely amazing looking and performing bikes 👌👌💪

[@anthonybuffolin185]

If you guys can get hold of an 848 and put it up against the 1098 that would be a great little brother vs big brother review. I own a 848 street and 848 Evo track bike, all the great 1098 idiosyncrasies but with almost none of the 1098 motor real world down sides. (Same grin factor but longer life expectancy, win win)

[@mmontero15]

How’s maintenance for the 848? Any major repairs?

[@anthonybuffolin185]

@@mmontero15 None on both, but I service both as required with quality oils and parts. Service intervals are longer than the book, time wise because of their ability and my lack of. Set the suspension up for you personally to get the most out of them, which is normally more than you can use. Bullet proof so far.

[@grahamsmith2022]

I think the later generation Ducati's will suit perfectly someone that has come from Japanese bikes but the 1098 family is full blooded Italian,foibles,rough edges and all but arguably that makes them a more "involving" ride.

[@AntaresSQ01]

I prefer the body style of the 1098. I'd love to have one, in black, in my garage!

[@valentinmendoza8732]

No love for the 999/749 😂 I love mines, and older Ducatis need the electrical upgrade kit. Start ups are a breeze.

Sup guys! You gotta do a Suzuki intruder 1400 video... I have the 750... I think you guys would love this cruiser... 😎🤘

[@philip2685]

Got a 1098. Change the starting wires! You won't have starting problems like I did that's on the video. They put piss poor wires that cracks a heavy engine seriously. I haven't had a starting problem since then especially on cold mornings. Also use oem battery, no lithium shit.

[@mohamedalzallaqi6606]

Hi....where can I get the starting wires you mentioned and which type? Thank u

[@jordan809]

Starter clutch gotta love it

[@M-28xD]

I'd still take the old ones over the new ones. Sure the new ones are better in almost every way but my favorite Ducatis are 1098 and 1198 series. They were much more Ducati'ee than the newer ones.

[@powellsautomotive61]

I love my panigale... But the panigale spacers in the throttle are a must. But once set up the bike feels like an extension of oneself

[@robevans916]

Great comparison. I will say that no matter the displacement, the ‘small’ Ducatis are always designed to feel a specific way while the ‘big’ bikes are always far more animalistic. Would love to hear your thoughts on the 1199/1299 after riding these two.

[@jaredromanyak2086]

Quick $.02. You joke a little about “L-twin” vs “V-twin.” It’s not a difference in how the engine is mounted in the bike. L represents the 90 degree engine, while V represents any twin less than 90 degrees- like Harley at 60ish degrees. I own lots of bikes. The older 899 is one. If you had tested a 959 with at least a slip-on/ UpMap, I think your opinion on power/ throttle response would change. That upgrade takes the bike to a different level of engagement. My 899 has just as much “soul” as my 999. You guys rock. For real.

[@keitha715]

I have to agree. I have t800 upmap,Sprint air filter and full vandemon underbelly system and with 220lbs of me on it the front end lifts through 4th with no problem.

[@benn1181]

Ducati gets a lot of attention compared to its actual market share

Calling a 2008 vintage is dumb

[@rolsson4365]

The 959 sounds metallic. Probably runs much too lean on an even throttle. Explains the strange response on low revs too.....
