Building Up a 1098S

One of my fav sites, Motorcycle-USA, has posted a great write up on taking a stock Ducati 1098S and tossing on a whole bunch of brand new Ducati Corse Performance parts thus making a faster, lighter and more fun red rocket…

With the 1098 entering the World Superbike foray next year, we were wondering what the Corse engineers have in store for the new machine. Well wonder has been transformed into awe. If this bike is any insight to what the future holds for the Xerox Ducati SBK team-then it looks like this small Italian motorcycle marque might be the team to beat in next year’s World Superbike Championship. This hopped up $37,037.94 1098S is just that good.
