Ducati 1098 R Puma Limited Edition (2009)

The Ducati 1098 R Puma Limited Edition is a tribute to the Italian manufacturer’s rich racing heritage and its latest triumph in the world Superbike championship. This exclusive version of the 1098R boasts an impressive array of cutting-edge features, including a fully adjustable Hlins fork and TTXR monoshock, as well as a lightweight, forged aluminum “GP Replica” wheelset.

The engine at the heart of this beast is a masterclass in performance and refinement. With its potent 1099cc V-twin motor delivering over 180 horsepower to the rear wheel, the Puma Edition is a force to be reckoned with on track or twisty road. And yet, despite its raw power, the Ducati’s engine is also incredibly smooth and tractable, making it an absolute joy to ride.

Built in just 10 examples for the Japanese market, this ultra-exclusive bike is truly a collector’s item for serious enthusiasts. Its unique Puma livery is eye-catching, to say the least, with its distinctive white and red scheme guaranteed to turn heads wherever you go. And as one of only 10 hand-built machines, each one comes with its own special numbered plate – a truly exclusive badge of honor. The Ducati 1098 R Puma Limited Edition is a true masterpiece that embodies the very essence of Italian style and performance.
