Ducati has introduced its new generation 1098 Superbikes this week at the Milan Motorcycle show in Italy. Th new machine produces 160hp and 90.4lbs/ft of torque, which results in making the 1098 the most powerful twin-cylinder motorcycle in the world, with the highest torque-to-weight ratio of any sport bike. In addition,Ducati claims the 1098 is also the lightest open class Superbike available, weighing in at 381 pounds.
With one dramatic step Ducati has introduced a new generation Superbike, the base 1088 model of which produces significantly more horsepower and is significantly lighter in weight than the out going top rated 999R model, at a price which is less than half. It's something old, something new, something borrowed and something very red from the Bologna mafia who need a winner in the showroom to match their winning on the track. And this is it.
