This Superbike is Timeless | Ducati 1198S

[@clashcityrocker2051]

Deffo gonna go up in value… last analogue ducat superbike( if it’s not an”S”), last trellis frame, last Ducati to win the WSB championship… it’s a monster that will take you an age to tame and ride to its limit( if you ever will!!) And arguably the best looking bike ….EVER!!

[@adobomoto]

I love it. I may convert it to a cafe racer...but it's mechanically mint, so I'm not sure. always wanted a Ducati Superbike Cafe conversion

[@bensahar215]

Probably the best looking sport bike ever!

[@dougb4956]

Awesome! I bought the same exact black 1198S two months ago with 960 original miles. Sweetness!

[@rzorNvme]

Where’d you find yours? Pros n cons?

[@imptuner]

It looks so good in black!!

[@wwfww]

This bike for me is the most handsome bike of all time, one of these days i will buy me one in pearl white

[@The_bunkering_channel]

I had a 1198S pearl white with a red frame, and i regret selling it. Just the rawness of this bike, the torque, power, one mistake and it bites you hard in the ass makes it so much more fun too ride then the 1299 and v4s that i owned after.

[@kenyan4078]

its a beautifull superbike and very elegant ducati ever made even compare by V4

[@jordan809]

Made me want to go start mine up right now 🥲 at 12:48 am on a Sunday night lol

[@adobomoto]

Lmfaooo…yeah me too 😂

[@plastricksfantastic1149]

Great video - thanks for taking the time to make it. I just picked up a 2012 1198SP in black, with a red frame. It truly is a beast. I checked out some of your other content and subscribed - great channel.

[@michaelmathews1217]

Great vid! I agree with all your points. I've a 2009 1198s (170 bhp) red on red frame I purchased 5 years ago, in addition to my 2005 999s (143 bhp) which I've owned (& regularly ride) for 16 years. These are great value for money bikes with bullet proof engines. The last of the models before excessive electronics & ride by wire. Without all those electronics, you'll get to know your bike better and you'll become a much better rider. I'll never sell them. They're both so incredibly torquey and have better power delivery than any Japanese four IMO. I've done many track days on the 999s & it keeps up with anything else no matter what it is; & I've also toured France & Germany on it for over a month and it was fine. (Just get fit & in good physical condition before any long rides) IMO the 1198s is one of the best looking designs Ducati ever put out, and this model has all the power you'll ever need, and then some. Sure, a 2022 Panigale V4s will out gun it on the track by a second or two per lap, but seriously, who cares? You'll never need that extra power on the road.

[@adobomoto]

yeah man, I completely agree with you. There's benefits to the electronics - no doubt. but a raw Superbike is harder to find these days. even Aprilia is electronic suspension now.

[@stig5763]

I don’t think I have ever wanted a bike more than this one.

[@kawitorque50]

I love my vanilla 1198 in red with slash cut Termi's, black trellis frame and granite grey wheels. I will never ever part with this bike even though it has been the biggest pain in the ass getting the charging system to play ball and stay functional. It's the prettiest superbike ever made.

[@gteklfgrips5570]

825 miles? Was that your trip A alone? Lol what a gem!

[@MountainMetal]

The R model gets so little love... It's the one to have!

[@franktyneski7158]

I have a few other bikes in the stable… but my 1198s Corse is bike I could never sell.

[@charleswinter1335]

Liked the video, love the 1098/ 1198 model!

[@rzorNvme]

Very nice looking bike. That much power is nuts… be careful.

[@adobomoto]

Thanks man

[@areefarthur439]

Appreciate you doing this vid about the Ducati 1198s. Have the same one in red. Truly is sexy

[@muscleandimports]

How does the torque on the 1198 compare to the 1299? I feel like, despite the 1299 making more peak torque, the 1198 probably comes off as the torquier motor. Would you agree with that, or are the two pretty comparable?

[@adobomoto]

I’d say they’re comparable. The chassis on the 1299 is likely better of the two.

[@muscleandimports]

@@adobomoto awesome, thanks for the response. I won't worry about missing out on that 1198 torque when I get my 1299 then lol Sound-wise tho, there's nothing I can do about that. 1198's just sound a better than panigales imo

[@USAracing]

my fave color for this bike!! so hard to find this color combo

[@daniellang6112]

love my 09 1198s. 5,300 miles. mint. hate to put on miles!

[@cronk6879]

Where did you get that bike from? Super rare find.

[@monroealie4030]

$50? Nice, low if no accidents because guys who do have them, most likely baby them, and have every right to. Got an RC51 since 05, just added a TL1000, seeing this video, i may have one more to add too my collection.😁🏍️

[@MikeSmith-qs2nr]

Love your channel.. i have to say I think this bike was the nicest .. didn't you have a 999?.. I have a 999 paid 7731 in dollars for an 06 999 9.5k miles. FSH. Full termi system.. it can only go up now. I know they cost alot to maintain . BUT it's worth it when you ride it 100 your review I think having just bought my 999 I don't want to get it dirty .. lol.. well its for riding and I think because they take a lot to maintain . At that cost you need to ride it as much as possible. Only my view. I intend to get some mileage on mine as I don't ever plan to sell her. So she's around to ride clean and enjoy. 🤙

[@AdrianSinner97]

The most beautiful bike in the world for ever. Still, not a word about the 2500 USD or even more for the 15 000 km service procedure - requiring valve clearances and many other - we are a Ducati workshop, i know them all :D Exotics are expensive.

[@adobomoto]

😂…luckily i only have 828 miles now. But yeah, valve clearances are something we don’t talk about 😂😂

[@jonathangolden8485]

Desmo services are so easy a 4 year old could perform them . They’re only $2500 procedures in shops because people don’t want to take the time and research them or they have the money to spend and could care less . It takes less than an hour to shim all 8 openers and closers and install belts ,once the fairings and accessories are removed .

[@AdrianSinner97]

@@jonathangolden8485 thing needs servicing done in time and those engines were not the most reliable at times

Thinking of buying an 1198 but i could get a nice rsv4 for the same price......... ducati is ducati though

[@jamesowen4360]

Is it fast?

[@kenyan4078]

In indonesia its cost $16000- 20000

[@thelensguy6050]

I ended up putting back the stock exhaust, in my opinion sounds better than the termignoni, more bass and in acceptable values of loudness, the termignoni was impossible on the road and on trips over 150km... Was killing me and everyone in the group.

[@thundervolt727]

How much did you buy？

[@adobomoto]

$9500

[@thundervolt727]

@@adobomoto Good deal.Congrats.

[@stephencarbajal5657]

The parts not being available is a turn off, love the bike but if you can't repair it that's a no go. Unless of course it just sits and that's no fun. Sold my 2000 R1 for that reason.

[@alessandroamosso3055]

I've same bike ,with full termignoni ,air filter and tune map...guys,is simoky TERRIFIC how this bike could accelerate and remember you why she had win a lot fo world tiles
