The new 1098R comes with a full comp. exhaust system which previously was only on the Bayliss rep. The main change is the slightly larger tank [just like Noris] which makes it much easier to ride, as previously you really had to grip hard with your legs to stop sliding forwards under hard braking. I,ve ordered one for mine & I,m having it resprayed, as in the flesh the new colour scheme looks fantastic

Don't forget that we're almost at parity with the Euro these days.

£30,000 @ £1 : €1.1 = €33,000

so back in the day when it was £1 : €1.56 you'd get...

€33,000 / 1.56 = £21,154 ... which is roughly the old price.

It's not Ducati that is changing the prices, it's our wonderful Government that is driving our currency into the ground!

Hi, just joined the forum so 'hello'.

Thought I'd contribute to the discussion regarding 1198R and S.

I've just taken delivery of my 1198s Corse and thought I'd clear up a few points.

The Corse paint job is to support Ducatis re-branding of the new 'Corse' logo, and with most things in life some like it, some don't. Personally I love it, just that bit different to look at.

The tanks is a larger (2 litres I think) aluminum race tank which is standard on the Corse over the 1198s.

You also get on the 1198s Corse;
New Termignoni end cans with the slashed angled rear, not a full system.
Rear paddock stand
ECU to match the end cans

My local dealer (MotoRapido) was feeling charitable and threw in a race air filter whilst they were putting the bike together for me.

The UK market didn't have the plaque mentioned earlier on this thread on the 1198s Corse, but I have seen it on either the S or the R in the US - can't remember which.

OTR prices today in the UK are approx £193xx'ish for the S and the R comes in at £29xxx'ish.
