Default 09 Ducati

I had stopped by a local Ducati dealership last week have had a "lead us not into temptation" moment. The dealer tells me that the for 09 Ducati is bringing out the 1198, rated at 170 hp. in standard and s models. Try as I might I can not find a picture of this bike or any data sheets any where. Any one got a picture? A link?

I've heard this too. But have not confirmed.

The dealer in Northampton MA confirmed and is slashing prices on 1098's. They also gave a projected delivery dat of Jan 09. I am curious whether this is simply a 1098 with a over bored engine or if it has chqanges to ergo and chassis as well. I am half thinking of selling off the 999 and steping up.

Found more info on it.

A company insider has exclusively revealed to us that Ducati will be upping the 1098’s capacity to 1198cc for 2009. In keeping with the 1200cc World Superbike v-twin capacity limit, the Ducati 1098R already displaces 1198cc, so we expect to see a version of its engine used in the 2009 Ducati 1198, but in a lower state of tune and using less exotic parts. An educated guess would put the 1198’s power output halfway between the 1098’s 160bhp and the 1098R’s 180bhp. There’s no word on the 1098R’s performance-oriented traction control trickling down to lesser models. But that’s not all Ducati has in store for 2009.

Update: More information on power, weight and pricing follows the jump.
Our source has just confirmed that the 1198 will have 170bhp. While the base 1198 receives a $500 price bump (to $16,495 in the US), the 1198S will remain the same at $20,995 (US). We've also learned that 1198 will be lighter than the outgoing 1098 and may receive a facelift.

It looks like that $500 price increase will be carried over to most bikes in Ducati's range, including the 848, which receives no other significant changes.

The same source also says to expect two versions of the 2009 Ducati Monster 1100, the regular 1100 and an S with Öhlins suspension. There's also an all-new model that, “is a cross between a Tuono, Brutale and fits between Monster and Hypermotard.” It will be powered by the outgoing water-cooled 1099cc engine from the 1098, but with a smaller airbox that means less power and shotgun-style dual exhausts mounted on one side.

Let’s see, assuming a 2009 Ducati 1198S will join the non-lettered 1198, that checks five off the list of the 10 new models Ducati says it will unveil by 2010. The capacity increase and name change is in keeping with Ducati’s long history of gradual engine updates based on Superbike developments. Think 916, 996, 996R, 998 etc.

We’ll have to wait for the 2008 EICMA show in November for official info and images, but we’ll see if we can’t sneak you some more of both before then.

I think it would be cool if they built the 1198 with the 848 wet clutch. Not that it matters... It's a Ducati

Actually, I rode with an ST4s the other weekend and never realized it had a dry clutch. The owner said he put in a special spring kit that kept the plates from rattling, and that you could only hear it when he held the clutch in (in gear).

Would mention this is a photoshopped imaged. It's a 1098. Note the bright "11"98. There is an 1198 coming, but details other than the bigger bore are scant. Announcement in a few weeks at Eicma.

Have seen the dealer order form. Deliveries of the 1198 and 1198s will be begin Jan/Feb. Colors include the pearl white of the 848 and black. MSRP for the 1198 is ~ $16,495 and $21,795 for the 1198s. There is no 1098R. A one time thing.

There is a 1098 based "Streetfighter" coming. Looks like a cross between the Hyper and Monster. Summer '09. $14,995 base, and $18,995 S Model.
