2008 Ducati 1098R with Jeremy McWilliams teaser

2008 Ducati 1098R with Jeremy McWilliams teaser. We tested the brand new 1098R at the Jerez launch. McWilliams lapped in the 1:50's and even did a 1:49 around Jerez. To put that in perspective: The 07 R1 and K7 GSX-R1000 did a 1:52 in the Masterbike test. Full onboard lap and more from the launch coming... TS

@igorgrubac nope, u just an idiot. i said I DONT LIKE ITm i don't like these rules, I believe they are biased and should be different. i cannot fail at my own opinion, get a clue

[igorgrubac]

@lobzdik U FAILED big time, it's simply rule... dude twin cylinder bikes can have displacement up to 1200 ccm, in liter competition, and in "600 cmm competition" its up to 600 for 4 cyclinders,3 cylinders up to 700 and twins up to 850... it's no accidental that daytona is 3 cyl. and 675. 848 is twin and it's 848 and jap 4 in line screamers are up to 600...it's just rules dude

McWilliams...McDonalds *grin* hahahahaha awesome

[MrSlowestD16]

@lobzdik Eh, it's not that. The problem is displacement, bikes produce very little torque because of it, so upgrades can't go as far as they can on cars, it gets to a point where unless you want to bolt a drag turbo to the side of the bike, you gotta bump the displacement, else-wise the companies spend way too much trying to nickel and dime the horsepower. So the main things they get going is weight and power.

@raptorama From my point of view he is far from being a legend. In 14 years he managed to win one! single race and that was on a 250cc.A legendary looser who crashed a lot and took away sponsor money that lacked on the other side to support more talented riders....but I dont want to sound too harsh...he could of course beat me on any machinery any given day, but I never atempted to make a career out of it.

@stimpyman007 200 more capacity, and the 2 lost cylinders is a choice made by Ducati... if they choose to make V twins, they must think they're superior...

[stimpyman007]

@lobzdik ok 20 more capacity, but also 2 less cilinders, dont forget that m8
