Introduced for 2007, the Ducati 1098 Superbike marked a new inflection point in Ducati's superbike evolution, blending MotoGP-derived technology with the marque's hard-earned World Superbike pedigree. Developed under the philosophy of “engineered by the stopwatch,” the 1098S was conceived with uncompromising focus on lap-time performance, combining dramatic weight reduction with a ferociously powerful 1,099-cc Testastretta Evoluzione L-twin engine producing 160 horsepower. At launch, Ducati proudly proclaimed it the most powerful twin-cylinder production motorcycle in history.

Distinguished from the standard 1098 by its premium specification, the “S” featured race-bred Öhlins suspension, lightweight forged Marchesini wheels, carbon-fiber trim, and Ducati Data Analyzer telemetry equipment as standard. The result was a motorcycle of exceptional agility, braking precision, and rider feedback, aided further by Brembo Monobloc calipers derived directly from contemporary racing technology. Equally striking in appearance, the 1098S successfully fused Ducati's unmistakable design language with pure racetrack intent, earning widespread acclaim and multiple “Motorcycle of the Year” honors from leading European publications.

Finished in uncommon Yellow, the color's debut shade for the 1098S in 2007, this example of Ducati's MotoGP-derived Superbike features 10,366 miles at the time of cataloging. Its condition is commensurate with its mileage and it is furnished with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, its set of road tools, and a Pit Bull rear stand. Rare is the opportunity to acquire an attractive example of one of Ducati finest Superbikes of the mid-2000s. In May 2026, the Ducati visited Richlin Imports for a service that includes a clutch and brake fluid flush, fresh fuel, and a new battery to return this superbike to operational condition in advance of Broad Arrow's inaugural 2026 Quail Auction.
