It's lost just over 5kg with the Ducati ally tank, lithium battery, and variety of DP carbon parts. Standard weight is 165kg.
Do it! Once you get used to a proper powered bike, everything else is feeble. But there's a big difference between 160rwhp and 180+rwhp. At...
:upyeah: PH got the News at Ten version, and here's the Newsnight edition! :)
Correct I didn't have to rebuild the bike, but I chose to. I can live with my bike being less than concours on the outside, but I am OCD about...
Them Cossies weren't cheap in keeping the Garretts in rude health either! :)
Would be interesting to see how many 1x98s make their quoted power ;)
@Matt, Much as I'd like to think Ducati would replace such things at their expense, it's simply never going to happen - the bike is almost 6 years...
Likely to take the car (got a paddock pass) as I'm flying solo with my son this time. Unfortunately he doesn't fit on a 98R monoposto!...
That shouldn't be happening!
:) Kriega fork covers, keeps em clean, keeps em leak free :upyeah: Good choice :upyeah:. Keeping the balance between raw performance and...

All that shrapnel would have been like barbed wire lacerating the inside :( Can highly recommend speaking with MotoRapido, if you haven't...
Do it! There will never be another thumping beast like the '98R. The Panigale is a limp wet pussycat in comparison! ;) It's not by luck that the...
A gentleman never says :upyeah: but needless to say there were a lot of manhours effort plus specialist services! In for a penny, in for a...
Samieb, Over time all engines will demonstrate a gradual deterioration in performance through internal wear - and this tends to be imperceptible...
I agree that the wear is unusual given how low mileage she is and that she spends the vast majority of her life on the road, not track. Poor...
Balancing the crank [img] New Main bearings [img] Setting it right [img] New rockers [img] Putting her back together again, looking like new!...
A bit overdue, but I thought I'd post up how my 1098R spent her winter in rehab! My R had done about 7500 miles (mostly all by me), and the...
