XXTi Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I hate to do it, but it's time to put my beloved Duc up for sale. I'm not riding any more and it's a waste to let the bike just sit in the garage. It started life as the first 2008 in Oklahoma and I've turned it into what I call a 1098S+ with the suspension parts. It's a great bike and I hope the new owner will enjoy it as much as I have. The pic in my avatar is the bike when it was a few days old. It doesn't show most of the mods. I can send pics if you are interested. I'm asking $12,000 and I think that's fair considering everything included with the bike. Red 2008 Ducati 1098 •Ohlins FGRT803 forks •Ohlins TTX36 shock •Ohlins adjustable steering damper •Dan Kyle 30mm offset triple clamps •Sato ride height adjuster •Full Termi Exhaust Ceramic Coated Black, CF Cans •Gilles VCR38GT rear sets •Cox Racing radiator and oil cooler guards •Cox Racing case saver •Shift-Tech rear CF hugger •Shift-Tech carbon fiber front fender •Sargent seat •Ducati Superpole Seat •Tall tinted DP windshield •Ducati tank bag and Tank cover •Ducati tail bag •Marsee 11 Liter Pocket Rocket tank bag •Tech-Mount radar detector mount and Escort wiring. •Oberon mirror extenders •AFAM 14 tooth front sprocket •SpeedyMoto open clutch cover •Red rim stripes •Pit Bull rear stand •Kyle rear ride height tool •Rear axle nut socket •All stock parts •Good PP2CT’s •10,300 miles.

XXTi Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 I should have mentioned that the Ohlins suspension bits are not OEM Ducati that would be found on the 'S' models. The bits on my bike are the top of the line Ohlins parts and were the best available. The Dan Kyle triple clamps are 30mm offset and dramatically improve the handling. You may have heard that Ducatis are uncomfortable, but I don't find that to be true. Believe it or not, I actually found the Duc to be more comfortable than my old XX.

XXTi Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Back to the top. One of you guys need to buy this great bike. Like Travis said, this is a GREAT deal for some lucky rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockertom Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 That sure is a sweet looking ride with some awesome goodies on it. Wish I was in a better position. GLWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXTi Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks Tom. I know most guys here don't keep up with Duc stuff, but the suspension bits aren't the relatively cheap OEM Ohlins bits. They are top line aftermarket items. The Kyle triple tree makes a world of difference too. The bike corners unbelievably well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockertom Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I try to keep up on all of the stuff. Been looking at the 1199 actually. Can't afford the S but the regular version has a sweet deal going on now. Those Ohlin's bits sure aren't cheap. Hence the difference in price stepping to the S.

XXTi Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 You're right and the Ohlins parts on my bike are a big step above the parts that come on the S models. My bike would likely run away and leave a stock 1199 or 1199S in the twisties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXTi Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 I think my original price was more than fair, but this great bike hasn't sold, so I must be wrong.I lost my job and this bike has to go. I'll take $11,000 for it and that's an absolute steal. Please look at the first page for a list of the features included. I'll listen to reasonable offers too.

XXTi Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 I don't understand why this bike isn't in someone else's garage by now. I've had a few people ask about it, but no one has even come to look at it. It's in perfect shape with great accessories, better suspension than a 1098S and I think the price is very fair (AKA cheap!). Do I need better pictures, is the price still too high, are there other questions I can answer, etc.? I'm stumped and I need to sell this Ducati.

IcePrick Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 If I had the money, it would be in my garage. It is close to the embodiment of perfection, to me. I have too much financial turmoil in the coming year - but that can't be the story for everyone. Is it getting all the exposure it needs? Cycle Trader, Ducati forums? ADVRider? The time of year is getting critical as well. I had a bike for sale this past spring at a fair (I thought) price with no serious lookers.

fredx Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it was comfy enough for me and my 11 yr old boy to ride 2-up for extended periods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXTi Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 I'm 6'-6" and this bike is surprisingly comfortable the way it's set up. I also have the passenger seat and pegs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXTi Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 Yeah. The bike was brand new then and still had the paper dealer tag. The Termi exhaust was on, but not much else yet. God, I still love the music that thing makes!! Thanks for posting the vid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
