General Information on the 2010 Ducati 1198 R Corse

The $39,995 1198 R Corse is a special edition of the 1198, with mostly cosmetic changes. That’s a testament to the soundness of the 1198 platform, but the bike does come with a ‘race kit’ for true power junkies. The big bore Desmo 90° L-Twin produces 180 hp in standard mode and 186 hp when using the race kit. The gearbox has a very high ratio 6th gear, “fully enabling the speed increase achieved from additional performance modifications (suggested for track use only). Weighing 1kg (2.2lb) less than the stock tank, it also boosts capacity by 2.5 litres to 18 litres (4.75 US gal).
