| 1098 Performance ?
Just looked at the 1098 owners manual (PDF FORMAT) from the Ducati.com website...
Says;
154hp not 160 as reported or stated on main superbike description.
116nm (85.6ft/lbs) torque not 90ft/lbs
Also,the weight is stated at;
173kg (base model)
171kg (s model) but these are without fuel,oil,water and battery.
188kg (base model) without fuel
186kg (S model) without fuel.
This is 15kg difference from "dry" to "semi-dry" weight.Whilst the discrepency in power isn't huge,the main site is misleading people and making sales on the back of it.
So, there's some contradiction on there own website and no doubt some artistic licence or rounding up of figures to make more appeal of the bike.
Why don't they just tell the real truth when they release a bike to the press. |
