Looking For An 1198 Track Bike

What is your budget ? Andy

 

Saw this, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-1198S/264719716946?hash=item3da2865252:g:VewAAOSw~HBervov Andy

 

I nearly offered you a Hungarian Superbike Championship winning 1098R but then quickly came to my senses

 

I know of 2 1098 available, one in Denmark, one Sweden, if you aint bothered about V5 etc.
Danish one is £5300, Swedish is £5690 at todays exch rates.

 

Will your budget stretch to a 1098R ? Andy

 

You will need to join Köp & Sälj - Ducati group on FB.
Danish bike.


Swedish bike.

I know both of the lads personally and can vouch for them both as people. I haven't seen either
bike in the flesh in the last 12 months, but they were decent/reliable enough this time last year.

Be aware that Swedish miles are units of 10km, ie add a zero for true odometer km.

 

Is that Riders 1098R still on ebay? £15k

 

Thinks it's just down the road from Felix on the York Ring Road - it was there 3 weeks ago when I called in and still unsold.

 

This one ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-1...830802?hash=item4455d57d92:g:UJMAAOSwjP9eJY2W Andy

 

Yeah. I remember when Riders sold it for 10k

 

you have to ask yourself why ? The bike is being touted as a 12 registration although raced in 2011. The superstock engine will be nothing like an original 1908R and I wonder how much of the raced engine was refreshed in 2015. If you have the budget to carry out an engine refresh probably after every 2000 maybe 2500 track miles, it might be awesome. In all probability for an amateur, a bit edgy and a bit challenging to ride. At £10,000 a bit of a bargain but not so sure at £15000 all bar a £. Andy

 

And it had it's original 1098R engine in it then too

 

Asking naively, so where did this Barni superstock engine appear from ? Andy

 

Barni racing?

 

Barni racing, they bought the bike - and put the engine in

 

Wise words, at last
