1198 Pecking Order

Discussion in '848 / 1098 / 1198' started by Rapide, Jan 28, 2017.

  1. Can someone knowledgeable explain the pecking order of 1198s; and 848s?

    I bought my 848 viewing the Corse SE as a bit of a run out special. Fancy paint, shock, and some goodies to help sell 848s as the 899 didn't exist yet. I love the bike but wouldn't/ didn't pay much of a premium for one over a standard Evo.

    Is it the same with the 1198s Corse SE? As examples such as the below seem very expensive?

  2. Wow - that's R money :Wideyed:
     
  3. Nice bike, I was looking at it the other day. But yeah, give me an R any day.
     
  4. If these start to fetch this money your R will be £20k+ in no time :Facepalm:
     
  5. Think they are far rarer than the R, if that helps answer why so expensive. Like maybe handful of UK examples. R by comparison is abundant in number :)

  6. To me, it's a 1098S in nice clothes and is undoubtedly worth more than a normal 1198S, but the Tricolore demands a premium too.

    Personally, I'd rather have an R. Just personal preference.

    Maybe I should just leave it in the dealers if he can get me £20k for it. :) I'll have to get it dropped back off this week, the R shaped hole in the garage doesn't look right. :(
     
  7. See what you mean.

  8. I remember when the SE's came out Duc Leeds had a couple in, there were 2 different models one was an S not sure whether the other was an SP or an R. The SP (or R) version was littered with carbon fibre panels a full 70 slash cut system larger ali tank and was quite a bit more £'s than the S, the S had the paint job, larger ali tank and slash cut slip ons (so just like the one in the advert) other than that I don't think it was any more special than a standard S.
     
  9. SP is wat I was referring to :)

  10. Blimey that seems steep
     
  11. They are all overpriced IMHO :)
     
  12. Agree, overpriced but ultimately pushing the market higher for rarer Ducati's :Angelic:
     
  13. Only if the gullible pay it ;)
     
  14. They seem to :Wideyed:
     

  15. Thanks all. My original hunch confirmed I.e 1198 Corse has even less distinction from other models than the 848 variant (as it's not only 1198 model with traction control/ QS).

    Hierarchy from the above*:
    R
    SP
    Tricolore
    Corse SE
    S
    1198
