  • type in "ski crashes" in the youtube search and click the video with stars in the title to be shocked!

  • Ducati have won more than anyone and the 1098 is another great bike so why should it be discontinued? Also single sided swingarm has a place in racing, in endurance racing they can swap wheels rapidly. Honda originally brought it out with the RC30, arguably the best race bike ever made. And the spokes snapped, no fault on ducatis behalf. Just a manufacturer fault in the casting or something by hover made it probs marchesini.

  • made in china

  • what make wheel is on the duke????

  • all Mg wheels (doesn't matter if cast or forged or the manufacturer) are suspect.  they CRACK! most don't understand that the TRUE cost of ownership isn't just the inital price paid? but also the cost of demounting them at regular intervals and sending them out to a service bureau to be x-ray'd. most race teams know all about this. OZ yrs ago even offered to do the testing and included it in the price. the burden however is still upon one to not be lazy and actually send them in.

  • Might Single-Sided Swing Arms be putting way too much stress on the hub?

  • Doesn't this look similar to the accident Robert Dunlop had at the 1994 TT when his Honda RC45 (also a single-sided swing arm by the way) had the rear wheel collapse after Ballaugh Bridge? Some controversy followed that one and rumour had it Medd Racing had altered the wheel somehow to reduce weight. Much worse accident due to higher speed involved.

  • @jstyants No you dozy twat, the tyre and the wheel are not the same thing. Is everyone in Essex stupid like you?

  • @VRvale46 I know that.... now xD thanks anyway

  • @VRvale46 The markings say 1198, but look at the list of riders and teams (on the sbk site) and they all read 1098R
