The Ducati 1198 is a sport bike made by Ducati from 2009 to 2011. For the 2011 model year there were two models: the 1198 and 1198 SP (replacing the 1198S). The 1198 shared design elements with its predecessor 1098, but had more power and torque, redesigned wheels, lighter headlights, traction control, lighter fairings (on the S model), and a few minor paint changes. One carryover from its 998 heritage is the distinctive single-sided swingarm.

Why is it worth importing Ducati 1198?

The American market offers the Ducati 1198 in equipment versions that are often unavailable in Europe. In addition, the transparent service history (Carfax) and strict insurance regulations in the US make buying a "damaged" car a safer investment than buying an "accident-free" vehicle with an unknown history on the local market.
