Our take on this /// Verdict
The Ducati 1198 is a powerhouse of a motorcycle that embodies the essence of Italian engineering and design. Riding this bike is an exhilarating experience, with its potent 1198cc L-twin engine delivering immense torque and power. However, its not for the faint of heart the 1198 demands respect and skill, especially in its handling and throttle response. The bikes tendency to stall at low speeds and its high maintenance costs can be daunting, but for those who crave the raw, unbridled performance and the unique throttle connection that only a Ducati can offer, the 1198 is a rewarding choice. Its a bike that will test your limits and push you to become a better rider, making every ride an unforgettable adventure.
Price
In India, the Ducati 1198, particularly the used models available, can vary significantly in price. The ex-showroom price for a new 1198 when it was available would have been around 20-25 lakhs, but since it is no longer in production, you would need to look at the used market. A well-maintained used 1198 can cost anywhere between 15-20 lakhs, depending on the condition, mileage, and any customizations. On-road prices would include additional costs such as registration, insurance, and any state-specific taxes, which could add another 2-3 lakhs to the overall cost. Its crucial to inspect the bike thoroughly and consider the maintenance history before making a purchase.
Mileage

The mileage of the Ducati 1198 in India is not its strongest suit. With a fuel tank capacity of around 15.5 liters, you can expect an average fuel efficiency of about 10-15 kml, depending on your riding style and conditions. This translates to a range of approximately 150-230 kilometers before needing a refill. Given its high-performance nature, running costs will be higher, especially considering the premium fuel it requires and the frequent maintenance it demands.

Quick Review by Maxabout Team
The Ducati Superbike 1198 is designed to be the best possession of anybody participating in motorcycle sports. It packs several strong features that make it valuable on the track. Among these features are the slipper clutch and the quick shifter. There is also a TTX rear shock. In the earlier version of the 1198, these features were optional; but they are standard features in the latest model, the Ducati 1198 SP. On top of the aforementioned features, the superbike also comes with the Ducati Data Analyzer (DDA), the Ducati Traction Control and the Ducati Quick Shift (DQS). The superbike’s braking system is an advanced one. It makes use of semi-floating discs that work in collaboration with radially mounted Brembo Monobloc four-piston callipers at the front wheel. These front brakes have a diameter of 320 millimeters. At the other wheel, a single disc brake with a 2-piston calliper is in place to ensure that stopping is as easy as possible. This brake is 245 millimeters in diameter. The Ducati Superbike 1198 also comes with a number of helpful features like a rev counter, warning lights, an integrated immobilizer system among other features. To give a better experience for the rider, the display is a unit derived from MotoGP.
