The Doctor is riding a 1198S with 172 HP, this is my first season on the bike. I set the fast time last Saturday in the morning in OMRRA practice...so f***in exciting. The traction control is simply amazing and provides tons a confidence in the bike exiting the corner.

I love my S! Its already more bike than i can imagine... an R model would be shear novelty. You don't pick up an R because you have to, you pick one up because you can, right mark?;)

S wheels, DU515, EUS internals, EVR slipper and slave, Alth QC carrier ,and Termi slip-ons. I recently finished painting my track fairings so I'll get some pics up soon. 8k miles and runnin strong.

I downsized from a 1098 to an 848 this year and go 2 secs a lap faster:

I finally took the plunge and ordered up a set of Armour Bodies race bodywork so it will be going track-only from here on out.

Performance upgrades so far include:
Full Termi with Ti sleeves off a 1098R exhaust, TTX, Nichols triples, Ohlins forks, 4-pad brembo calipers, Brembo HP rotors, Brembo RCS master, Yoyodyne slipper clutch, GPR damper, Woodcraft rearsets and clip-ons, Speedymoto sliders, DP racing seat, DP racing windscreen, Stomp Grip pads, Evo slave cylinder, Carrozzeria forged aluminum wheels, Supersprox rear sprocket (14/41 gearing), plus quite a few carbon fiber pieces and other non-performance-enhancing bling.

Shoot! the triple nine is one hell of a machine, and much easier to tune than the current generation of Ducati Superbike. I had to think long and hard between a 999R and my 1098S...

Now where's the beef(pics):lol:?

Hey guys, I don't have a big machine like ya'll, but I am running my novice season this year on a 01 748.......I built an 03 749 over the winter to race but am blowing oil all over and cannot pin point where from. I've tried a few different things but have not been succesful thus far.

Hell JD, you outta know better than that... you buy it, then figure out how to afford it.

I put my money down for the 1098 back in Nov 06, left for OTS in Mar 07, and then applied for the loan while there. Had it paid for in Jun and didn't even see it till Aug!

Aaahaah it makes sense now, this is the really well priced one in FL I take it. Yeah I almost took on a little more debt for that one when I saw it, just not enough different from my 999 to take the plunge. Good luck if you get it, looks badass for sure.

yep thats the one. i want it really bad, i am hoping to sell some of my car parts i still have left from my supras and be able to pay cash. i can't afford anymore loans, i'm trying to pay off debt as it is but money i have from my supras is mine so crossing fingers it all works out. i'd be able to race two diferent twins series then which would be cool .

The bike has an ohlins shock and damper, race tech front end, woodcraft clipons, crg levers, cycle cat sets, vortex fairing bracket and sprockets, high arrow pipes, and I welded mounts on to run 999 bodywork with and R6 tail. It looks like a mini 999 and sounds great. the bikes been alot of fun to race and is a neverending project of tinkering.

Whats up guys. Raced a 748 and then a 1098 base. Was going to continue racing the 1098 for my first expert season, but things are not going to work out (got laid off and had to take a cut, also expecting our first baby).

I am trying to talk the boss into letting me pick up a 749r for a "one race a year" type thing. We'll see how that goes. All my gear is gone too

I run my base 1098 at the track and on the street, no racing though. It just has some basic mods like SATO rearsets, Frame/Axle/Swingarm Sliders, Open Clutch and HIDs. I'm shooting for doing fully reworked suspension over the winter.

Cool forum!

I'm racing a Monster 620 in the CRA Ultralight class. As someone posted in the picture above, there are lots of us racing these. These 2-valve motors rock. They are so rock solid and the maintenance is easy. It takes a little work to get them ready for the track but after you do, they are a blast to race.
I'm considering bolting up a 900 motor for next season and beating up some SVs. :dance:

Currently racing the MRA in Colorado but I've raced all over the country wih no too bad success. Currently 2nd in Supertwins GTO and 6th in MRA Race of the Rockies class. Have lots of stock parts of of 1098 R's and I'll be posting a few for sale. As I changed about everything on the bike to make it more competitive these parts are brand new. Things like all the stock bodywork, pistons, cams, pipe, swingarm, shock, and etc. I'm sponsored by Boulder Motorsports who builds what's almost a World Superbike spec bike for me. Anyhow glad to be here and look forward to joining in. Cheers, Jon

just traded my 695 Monster for an 800SS race bike
Haven't ridden it yet but it appears to be a great bike. Probably gonna have to change springs front and rear and would like to get a cartridge kit (forks are stock other than different springs).

Former novice racer....I didn't come to the sport until I was 48 yrs old. I am now 56 and returning to physical condition to race CMRA next year, after I had suffered injuries 3 years ago. Raced Aprilia RS 250, then moved to 600's with a Trumpet and then GSXR 600 and 750. I am wasting a perfectly good 1098R by riding it on the street, so I may track it next year, but I need to start back with an SV or something to get my chops back.

Old novice days with Trumpet 600:

Something I have no business riding but to keep the hair standing on the back of my neck. Have to take the abuse of truly just being a poseur on this...it had 6 miles on it for this pic for my first stop at the gas station, 6:15AM Texas summer before it got too hot:

New to the site myself. Started to race MX in 1971, since then, it has been RR, trials, flatrack, Supermoto and now back to RoadRacing. The 1198S has been slowly getting all of the little things sorted out. Stig Pettersen made some suspension changes last weekend, so I should be well sorted for the next race.

A shot of the new glass before the last race at Willow Springs.

Exit T6 at TWS, pin the throttle all the way thru T7 to the top of the hill. Aim for the water tower and brake! You can't get in that much trouble with 55 HP! Ahem.

Did you check out my home built pipe on that thing.....sounds like an RC airplane engine on steroids at 15,500! Made it from altering a stock RS250 stinger....

What's worse? I got a 92' VFR 400 KISS Racing endurance version too, straight off Suzuka. MMMMMM.....RC30 replica in 400cc's:

finally got to do a couple trackdays on the 800 but I've only got 3 completely dry sessions and a full day of damp sessions. Coastal Ducati Club is doing a trackday at Jennings on the 23rd and then I'm doing a couple days at Talladega in November so hopefully I'll get some more dry time before winter. Unfortunately the only pictures I got were of the Michelin STT day where it was damp the entire day (stopped raining about 20 minutes before the 1st session and just stayed cloudy all day so the track never dried)

you did it right. Just scroll over the pic. You can also imbed, but that can f up the readability of the thread if the size of the image is too big.

Ducati 1198. Fun Times.....until I got a false nuetral betweeen 3rd and 2nd and took a minor crash in the grass. Fortunately, the bike and I were mostly okay. Need track fairings for the next go around...stock ones are pricey!

Ok gentleman, I have just about 99% completed my new race bike. I had to build something to run with my bud Van in Twins and F40 so I'd like to introduce you to "Bella" . My last 1000 was named Veronica and she was pretty hot, but Bella is much prettier and not a Suzuki. Hopefully she is just as fast or faster. Before anyone asks about the "Duczuki" paint here is the story. I took our 8 sets of team bodywork down to the painter to have them painted blue/white/red, etc. and then also took my Duc bodywork down to have it painted in Xerox colors. So I get a call that my bodywork is done, and when i get there it is team colors and not red and white, and it had novice plates on it. So beside the fact that I was severely pissed, and threw things. The painter offered to repaint it or give me another free paint job whenever I needed it, so I took the free paint job, had them fix the number plate and then mounted it up, and it looks pretty cool. Not what I expected but oh well. I am trying to get to the track tomorrow for the maiden voyage. Wish me luck. http://www.frenotec.com/EbayImages/david_1098_002_500.jpg
