Description

The 1098R Bayliss LE is one of the more interesting of the Ducati line in terms of nomenclature. In 2007 Ducati came out with the 1098 which was had as it’s heart, 1099cc engine. It brought back the styling presence lost by the 999 with it’s two sided rear swing arm, ttending body work and exhaust. Real world acceptance of Ducati had started with the 916, he most iconic vision of a motorcycle ever produced with it’s single sided rear swing arm and huge racing successes. The 999 never really jelled with buyers despite being a better motorcycle in most respects. Ducati was not lost to the conclusion.

The 1098 came back to it’s successful styling clues even if it meant compromises in handing capacity due to it’s layout. Despite this, ucati was able to improve the handling and power of the bike over the 999 and they flew off the floor. There were three models, he base 1098, he 1098S and 1098R. The 999 had proven to Ducati that they had reached the physical and mechanical endurance limits of competitive racing in WSBK, hich up to 2008, imited the displacement of twins to 1000cc. By introducing the 1098 in 2007, n engine that was larger then the WSBK limit for twins, ucati stacked the deck with the threat of removing it’s self from world class competition. Much hand wringing and lobbing latter, SBK eventually increased this limit for twins to 1200cc for the 2008 season assuming that this would create an equal playing field for all of the manufactures. The only ones happy with this were Ducati with Suzuki threatening, ightfully, o withdraw at the perceived disadvantage of displacement regardless of the fact that the twins could only be modified from the factory build slightly.

Not to be shy, ucati stuffed the 90° V-twin Testastretta Evoluzione into the 1098 for an 1198cc version of the bike with Carbon Fiber Body Work, orged Marchesini Wheels and Ohlin’s Suspension to homologate the 1098R. Nothing like cubic inches. Ducati, long with Troy Bayliss, mmediately won the 2008 WSBK Championship with the race version of the bike. Ducati, n their infinite wisdom, hen issued 500 Limited Edition Bayliss 1098R’s for sale the following year to celebrate their victory, his being #183.

New, he bike listed for $43,995. It was the same time period of the Desmosedici D16RR and both bikes were ridden back to back by testers in the day. Some felt the 1098R was a better track bike and the price difference being $30,000, natural choice for use besides there being 1500 16RR's sold to the R’s 500.

This particular bike was purchased new at Modesto Ducati. It was ridden by a mature enthusiast who could afford the bike and the care it required. One thing that was soon discovered, t is not much of a day to day street bike and was not ridden too much over the years with 3302 miles now showing. Most of the miles were when the bike was fairly new and it was kept for it’s esthetic value until recently. Now it is time to share the bike with a new home. The dealer recommends the timing belts be replaced at this point because of time. That answers the question. There is one mark on the bodywork, scrap on the left side of the belly pan, ost likely from being loaded but other then that one mark, here are no other chips or marks in the paint. The carbon fiber exhaust heel shield on the right side of the bike is discolored from heat which can be seen in the images. Also included with the bike is the stock exhaust system, he extra keys, wner's plaque, omputer disc and owner's manual.

Miles showing are 3,302 and the VIN# is ZDM1XBHW49B022349. For more images send us your e-mail address and I will forward them on to you. The bike is available for inspection 9-5, onday through Friday at Automania, 95 SE Gladiola Drive, rants Pass, OR 97526, 41 479 8888, regon Dealer DA1287.
