Troy Bayliss 1098r

Great choice of bike ,I nearly said a wise choice but would be so very wrong
A real thug of a bike , not the easiest thing to ride ,especially in the damp on an unfamiliar road, but hey who cares about minor niggles like that ?
The way these things deliver power and the sound they make is so addictive
My bike has done about 10,000 miles, no real problems , the only mod I've done is to drop a tooth on the front sprocket .
In my opinion anyone who owns a 1098r and hasn't used it on a track will never really experience just how good these things are
As the mechanic at my local Ducati dealer said after road testing the bike after fitting a new clutch " they don't make bikes like that anymore"
Can a bike be served with an ASBO?

 

you can say that again.

 

Hi Dennis . I did think about selling it last year , the reason being to fund an AMA racebike build ,
The Honda's finished and I've still got the beast ,result .
Get yourself booked up for a trackday at somewhere like Brands GP ,Anglsey or better still Spa ,talk Davey into it as well

Must be summit in the water up there, or maybe just the cracking roads.
Lived in Durham before leaving UK a couple of years ago.
Had my Bayliss from new and absolutely love it. Went to part ex a few years ago for the first of
the panigales, but changed my mind after test riding one. There was no grunt in comparison
to the 1098R mid range.
As Ian says, you don't really get to know the bike until you get it on the track. I started dipping my
my toe with mine in 2011 and it made the bike even more addictive. Last year it didn't get ridden on the
road after about June, but instead spend the whole summer on trackdays.
This year it isn't going on the road at all. Am committing to making it a full track bike, and putting all that expensive bodywork in boxes. This year is gonna be mint.

 

Well said Glen ,that's what their made for , lets face it where else can you do 160 mph several times in any 20 min session ? certainly not on the road

 

I been thinking about posting a thread about the Bayliss Rep, I can't find any for sale, what is a sub 1000 mile bike worth?

A business colleague has a 400kmh bike I was thinking of buying.

Any general ideas on prices?

 

You missed this one finished on the 15 Feb.

Used Ducati for Sale UK

 

Ya having a laugh - to both of the last 2 posts .

 

Wow thats cheap.

 

I can't access the photies??? ... which made me ask if it was still for sale!!? Is it not kosher?

 

Glen, its just a couple of 1098 stickers honest.

 

Its legit mate, but the pricing is comical. Presuming you mean your link to Duc Manchester.

 

There have been a few new ones in the USA for $35,000 to $40,000 in the last 2 or 3 years.
