The Appeal
The Ducati 1198 S is the higher-specification evolution of the legendary 1098, produced between 2009 and 2011. Distinguished from the standard 1198 by its Öhlins suspension, Marchesini forged alloy wheels, Ducati Traction Control, and factory-fitted Data Analyser, the S variant delivered a near-race-ready package straight from Bologna.
This particular example was imported from Japan and is reported by the vendor to be entirely accident-free, with no major scratches or scuffs. The vendor states that it presents as near-new and considers it one of the best-preserved 1198 S examples currently available. We are told it has been recently serviced by a Ducati specialist in Warsaw, and is described as ready for the riding season. With very few examples reportedly available for sale across Europe, this 1198 S is well worth the attention of collectors and enthusiasts of Italian superbikes.image.png1.24 MB
