Ducati 1198R Corse Special Edition (2011)

The Ducati 1198R Corse Special Edition is the ultimate expression of Italian racing heritage, distilling years of GP and WSBK success into a single, adrenaline-fueled package.

At its heart lies a potent Desmodromic L-Twin engine, producing a thrilling 195 horsepower at 11,500 rpm, accompanied by a screaming exhaust note that will leave even the most seasoned riders grinning from ear to ear. But it’s not just brute power – the Ducati 1198R Corse Special Edition is also blessed with exceptional agility and responsiveness, thanks in part to its lightweight 2-1-2 exhaust system and top-shelf suspension components.

Behind the handlebars lies an array of cutting-edge electronics, including a MotoGP-derived instrument cluster that provides riders with an unparalleled level of data and control. Whether you’re carving up mountain roads or pushing for the podium at a track day, every detail of this motorcycle has been honed to deliver an unforgettable riding experience – one that’s as much about drama and flair as it is about outright speed.
