iamdaman
i can feel the excitement in the air!when's comming?feb/mar?
yr 1198sp is the last in the line!
but for less than a year,probably around dis time next year,the
Superquadrata 'll b here!
so u gonna ask yrself,do u wans to be last in line or first in the queue!
i dunno 've anybody put down any money for d Superquadrata but if u decided to go for it now,i'm sure u 'll b in d 1st shipment! a mini celebrity of some sort,everybody wans to talk to u?
food for thought ,mate.

*some little facts abt d Superquadrata ?
it was ducati 1st entry into motogp & dis twins(round)&another twin(oval) piston was
1st considered ! the oval was drop due to some regulatory issues(how do u measured an oval?)same theory as how u measured a rotary engine?
but later , reckon the twins might 've a power disadvantage to the rest of the mgp machinary.
the" square"twin is 8 yrs in the making,real potent,jac?

Bro, indeed it is the last in line. Since next year they are out of SBK, all efforts will be in developing this SuperQuad. Indeed thoughts came before, but then I will never get to ride seeing how Duc come out with upgrade every 1-2years. That probably will give me a good reason to upgrade

The other oval piston bike ie next to impossible to own is the Honda NR, it was a technology feat back then, 8 valves per cylinder

BTW, always enjoy reading your post, full of insight.

iamdaman ,its here!
but,its the only 1 dat came in , & its been taken!
[/img] if u drop in minerva,u wun noticed its an sp? <img src=[/img]
it looks exactly like the 848/1098/1198 brethren!

sold !
[/img] please , do not sit ! lightweight aluminum fuel tank,with 18 litres. <img src=[/img]
previous 15&a half litres is a bit stupid?

1198sp , the last of the line,until the..........................Superquadrata?
[/img The Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) system is the first time that a race-style electronic quick-shift has been supplied as original equipment on a production Ducati ! <img src=[/img]

Ducati were the first manufacturer to introduce a true competition-level traction control system on a production motorcycle and for 2011 the highly successful system is now integrated into both the 1198 and 1198 SP electronics as standard equipment.

The 1198 SP&848 evo models are all fitted with Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires,good tyires normally dun comes with the bike but dis is an exception.

Ã–hlins unit for the 1198 SP with TTX twin tube technology providing totally separate damping adjustment in compression and rebound.

HRH Prince William has ordered a Ducati 1198SP superbike, which features a TTX Ohlins shock absorber as well as Ohlins forks.
The bike, which is to cost the prince a cool Â£17,000, is track-ready and capable of producing 170bhp on its way to a top speed of 190mph.
Also included in the specification is Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Quick Shift, a slipper clutch and an aluminium fuel tank.
It is not the first time Prince William has purchased a Ducati bike. He was spotted riding a black Ducati 1198S to a polo match last year.
His brother Prince Harry is also a motorcycling enthusiast. Earlier this year, Autoevolution.com reported that the young prince had been taking some riding tips from former Suzuki MotoGP rider Chris Vermeulen[/color]

another interesting things i saw is dis 2011-f1098?

[/img] it got the whole works! the transparent perspex cam covers&among others things <img src=[/img]

depends on whether your key has a transponder...

pum9kin_h3ad · January 12, 2011

There are a few good ones out there. STM, Evoluzione, etc
But take note of the diameter. 30mm will give you a lighter pull but does not disengage the clutch as well.

yup, thats what i ve heard from reading other forums.. it will cuz premature clutch wear .. well i got a stm 30mm slave installed..as i seldom ride so cant really tell u if its true..
maybe can ask the older guys who had it on and ask their opinion

Eh.... So what is the diff between 30mm and the 28mm clutch slave? So i can actually get 28mm or 30mm for my 848evo? What you guys recommend ?

Depends on the clutch pull. 30mm smaller lever effort but piston travel is less thus more clutch wear.

If u wanna save money on clutch plates then go for 28. If you don't ride that often or bike is used for track then go for 30.

my 2 cents

the in-tank fuel pump went crazy... so now trying to get a manual fuel pump installed, at the same time, getting the termis' throat cleared...

Hope to see yr classic beauty on Sunday!

weian_85 · January 12, 2011

30mm would also be more difficult to find neutral. 28mm would not give u any problem.

Skywheel · January 12, 2011

Hi guys, i just bought a ducati 1098 and im interested in fitting an alarm on it, any recommendation on which alarm is good, reliable and power saving?

ohayo · January 13, 2011

Orochi, is your bike still under minerva warranty? If it is, i have heard that you are not supposed to use other brand of alarm other than ducati's. You may want to check with minerva before doing so.

On seperate note, scorpion alarm is pretty solid. But its not cheap either. If not you can go spy alarm by zmc securities

Wow 2.......

Thankyou for all the compliments, this is my first foray into SBK, have been a GS rider all these years.

Hi T28, not any movie-star, more like Internal-Affairs Part 3 [calefe].

Movie-star status is still up for grab for those who be the first to put booking for SuperQuad..
