Ducati Superbike 1098 S Tricolore
I’ve got a thing about bikes. A couple of things, actually.
Being more specific, I absolutely love the things. Oh, and I keep crashing them. No idea why, but if there’s an opportunity to drop, scrape, slide or simply just go straight on at a corner, I’m your man. I worry about the whole life expectancy thing.
Anyway, check this baby out. I’m not going to go into the technical specs because frankly they are so boring they would make your pet hamster cry (there are only so many times you can say “The suspension system is completed and perfectly balanced by using 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”. Just the once, probably)
Also cool is the fact that it comes with a ‘Ducati Data Analyser System‘. Yep, the Duke has got a USB port for you to pull down all the essential info including throttle opening, vehicle speed, engine rpm, engine temperature, distance travelled, speeding fines awarded… that kind of thing. Cool indeed.
Cost $25,000 (£13,000; €18,800).
Just PLEASE don’t let me any where near it.
Ryan.
