We had the privilege of selling this 2008 Ducati 1098S Superbike in December 2022. It was previously owned by a long-standing friend and customer who bought it from Ducati Seattle in August 2009. This bike has had only one owner, has never been on the track, and is free from dents or any issues. The 7500-mile Desmo service was completed on schedule by South Sound Motorcycles. Since its last sale, the bike has been upgraded with several carbon accessories, a tail tidy, an integrated tail light with signals, a smoke windscreen, and a custom leather-stitched seat. Before we sold the bike previously, at 8320 miles, we conducted a comprehensive 2-year service, which included changing all fluids, including hydraulics, and installing new timing belts.

We have the passenger pegs, windscreen, rear seat red cover, owner's manual, DDS, both factory keys, code card, and a clear WA title.

The Ducati 1098S stands apart from more budget-friendly sportbikes like the $11,499 Suzuki GSX-R1000. It's a bike with a more demanding personality, offering a touch of unpredictability and craving attention on everyday roads. These traits make it a dream for performance aficionados but can be a challenge for casual riders. When the 1098S hits high speeds, though, it delivers an unparalleled riding experience. Essentially, the Ducati 1098S is a track-focused sportbike that takes performance seriously and excels at its intended purpose. While it may be too intense for riders not fully committed to pure performance, it's an exhilarating choice for adrenaline junkies. With a $20,000 budget for a sportbike, the Ducati 1098S offers a taste of track-like performance on public roads.

THE PINNACLE OF L-TWIN SUPERBIKES The Ducati 1098S is the most powerful and lightest L-twin superbike ever produced by Ducati. With further weight reduction and the inclusion of top-notch components, the 'S' version is poised to fulfill every rider's dream of owning the ultimate superbike. Its fully adjustable 43mm Öhlins FG511 forks, featuring low-friction Titanium Nitride fork sliders, effortlessly handle road imperfections. Beyond their engineering prowess, Öhlins forks excel at conveying tire-to-road contact information, enhancing rider control. The bike's suspension system is perfectly complemented by a fully adjustable Öhlins 46PRC rear shock with a ride-improving top-out spring. This setup, combined with a single-sided swingarm, ensures exceptional drive, traction, and steering precision. Adding to the Öhlins package is an adjustable steering damper that enhances control.
The 'S' model also redefines lightweight performance. The most effective way to reduce a bike's weight is by targeting its 'unsprung weight', which includes components like tires, brakes, and wheels. The 1098S addresses this by equipping Marchesini forged wheels, shedding 4 pounds (1.9 kilograms) of weight. Additional weight savings come from a carbon fiber front fender and seat fairing cooling ducts, further enhancing the bike's performance and agility.
