Ducati 1198SP (2011)

The Ducati 1198SP: a streetbike that’s track-ready from the showroom floor. This upgraded version of the standard 1198 boasts cutting-edge, race-bred features that elevate the riding experience to new heights.

At its core is the Testastretta EVOluzione engine, a liquid-cooled L-Twin Desmodromic powerhouse producing 170hp and 97lb-ft of torque. With a bore and stroke identical to the factory race bike, this engine is optimized for volumetric efficiency through four valves per cylinder.

The result is an incredibly responsive ride, with seamless shifting courtesy of Ducati’s Quick Shifter (DQS) and precise handling thanks to the Ohlins TTX rear suspension. Whether carving up twisties or devouring straights, the 1198SP delivers a thrill-ride experience like no other – it truly is the ultimate streetbike for those who crave the perfect blend of style, substance, and sheer riding exhilaration.
