The Rose
|
Let me introduce you to this "red rose" owned by Mr. dela Fuente, the Ducati 1098s. This sport bike also called as the "Ten-Nine-Eight", has an engine of 1099–1198 cc 90° V-twin cylinder, 4 valve per cylinder Desmodromic, liquid cooled. Has a base Power of 160–180 hp and Torque of 90–99 ft·lbf. The 0-60 mph time is less than 3.0 seconds and top speed is estimated at 180 mph (290 km/h). Pretty impressed? Wait until you know more about this sport bike.
What makes it more awesome, is that this one right here is the special edition of the Ducati 1098 series. This 1098S has a lighter forged aluminum rims while the base model has cast aluminum rims. It also has DDA standard or the Ducati Data Analyzer which is a track tool primarily, that records lap time, RPM's, speed, etc. A top notch Ohlins suspension is installed instead of Showa. Lastly, it has a sharp looking Carbon Fiber front fender which is another device to make the S model turn and respond faster.
A bunch of modifications were put by the owner into this bike to give more personality. The list includes Rizoma levers, Rizoma clutch cover, Rizoma 1198 gold rearsets and Termignioni carbon fiber exhaust pipes which compliments the carbon fiber front fenders.
