Ducati Superbike description

2007 Ducati Superbike 1098 S, Yes it is true only 211 miles. - THE MOST POWERFUL, LIGHTEST L-TWIN SUPERBIKE IN HISTORY The new 1098 S is the highest performance Ducati street bike ever made. Reducing weight even further and the addition of world-class components make the "S" ready to deliver the dream of owning the ultimate Superbike. The fully adjustable 43 mm Öhlins FG511 forks, which sport low friction Titanium Nitride fork sliders, respond effortlessly to every imperfection in the tarmac. Beyond their advanced engineering solutions, one of the most important characteristics of Öhlins forks is their ability to communicate the condition and quality of the tire-to-road contact patch, putting the rider in total control. The suspension system is completed and perfectly balanced with a fully adjustable Öhlins 46PRC rear shock with a ride enhancing top-out spring, controlling the single-sided swingarm for outstanding drive, traction and steering precision. The Öhlins package is completed with a control-enhancing adjustable steering damper. The "S" also sets a new standard for lightweight performance. On any sport or race bike, the most effective area to reduce weight is its "unsprung weight." This is achieved through reducing the weight of components such as tires, brakes and wheels. Lighter wheels have a lower "moment of inertia" that is beneficial with every direction change and application of the brakes. The 1098 addresses this important area by mounting Marchesini forged and machined wheels, reducing weight by 1.9 Kg (4 pounds). The weight saving is further enhanced with the application of a carbon fiber front fender and seat fairing cooling ducts.

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

Here's a pic from inside the Ducati factory in Bologna. These Ducati 1199R Panigales are destined for the USA; the bikes are being shipped to Texas for the 1199R launch at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA). The picture above reminds me of the picture on the right, which was one of the first wallpapers I had on my PC way back in 1997.

Would you pay £115,000 for this?

Mon, 25 Oct 2010

A HONDA NR750 - one of the most hi-tech production motorcycles ever built - is up for grabs on eBay with an asking price of £115,000.The bike was produced in the early 1990s by Honda to showcase the company's engineering skills; a 32-valve, oval piston V4 engine, Carbon Fibre Composite bodywork and titanium-tinted screen are just some of the revolutionary features that warranted the bike's £37,000 original price tag.This particular 1993 model has covered 5000 miles from new - quite a few for a bike with such a heady price tag. We'd have expected it to come with delivery mileage only. It's being sold by an Essex-based dealer who describes the bike as 'IMMACULATE'.
