The 1098 (pronounced by most people as ten-nine-eight), unlike its namesake actually has a 1,099c engine, in classic Ducati L-twin cylinder configuration. If you’ve ever encountered a Ducati next to you at a traffic light you’ll know that the sound of a Duke L-twin especially paired with a nice performance exhaust is extremely addictive. Because of the cylinder configuration there is a very unique power pulse pattern. Twins also generally make more torque lower down compared to inline-4 bikes.
Although there is a 1198 now (just launched by Ducati Malaysia), a 1098 is still alot to handle, with 160 horsepower produced at 9,750rpm, matched with a 6-speed transmission. That’s really alot of power for something with a dry weight of only 173kg.
It uses a tubular steel Trellis frame, Showa 43mm adjustable upside-down forks at the front, and an adjustable Showa monoshock with aluminium single-sided swingarm at the rear.
The Ducati 1098 was honoured as the Best Bike of the Year 2008 from the Supertest World Association, the International Bike of the Year for both 2007 and 2008, Bike of the Year 2007 by Moto, Australian Motorcycle News and Motorrad, as well as the Best Design and Best Sportbike awards by the Motorcycle Design Association.

Why a 1 liter engine can produce 160hp?
I like the pocketrocket between muh legs….
Good investment for a lucky mat-rempit…
If that really happens…
'Why a 1 liter engine can produce 160hp?'
BMW's S1000RR produces 193hp out of a 1 liter engine….at 13000rpm :

I guess nobody would like to have a car where you need 5000rpm to get away from a traffic light…
I am never of super bikes but if given this bike i am ready to love it! Must go top up with CIMB……aiyar no money
Luqman – if you try the bikes, the engines rev up to 13,000rpm very quickly oh! check out the in-bike videos on youtube and you can see for yourself!
in theory, you can produce lots of horsepower just by increasing the redline. that's because bhp is calculated as the amount of torque produced at a particular rpm.
1000bhp, 1lbft in an engine that revs to 500,000rpm?!?!?! hahahahaha.
The bike accelerate from 0-100 in just under 3 seconds…..imagine the g force.
Sportsbike are in essence a race machine, …u ride like driving a sports car aka civic type R ….u rev the engine up high, corners are taken on 1st/2nd gear ….mental!!
anybody know what happen to our fist and the only superbike ,Petronas Fp 1?
aiyak….
another bussiness strategy by Maxis….
I guess the winner is the person who topup RM138k per day…
hahaha
to bad I'm a postpaid…better ask my school cousin who is using the prepaid.
cheh, i've converted to postpaid already… great prize, but what's the catch? only have to reload eh?
Arcee…pergh…
what is the OTR price for this bike?
btw, we need to get another license to ride this super bike?
