Overview
2011 Ducati 1198SP – The Last of a Legendary Breed
The 2011 Ducati 1198SP represents the final chapter of Ducati’s iconic belt-driven, trellis-frame superbike era. With just 19,248 km from new, this example has been exceptionally well cared for and still presents in mint condition, making it a standout opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Notable Features and Pricing
Racing DNA and Evolution
The 1198SP incorporated many of the performance features first developed for the 1098 R racing homologation model, bringing true race-bred engineering to the road. It forms part of the fourth generation of Ducati’s ‘L’-twin superbikes, a lineage that helped define modern Ducati performance.
At the heart of the bike is the Testastretta (narrow-head) engine, featuring belt-driven overhead camshafts and Ducati’s signature desmodromic valve system. This advanced design significantly increased both power and torque while maintaining the raw character that Ducati twins are known for. The 1198 generation also introduced electronic rider aids, marking an important step forward in superbike technology.
Proven Championship Heritage
This generation of Ducati superbikes dominated international racing. The fourth-generation Desmo twins competed in the World Superbike Championship from 2001 to 2012, securing six rider titles and six constructor titles during that period. Among those victories were three championships won by Australian legend Troy Bayliss, further cementing the platform’s racing pedigree.

The SP variant came with several exclusive upgrades, including the lightweight aluminium fuel tank. This particular bike is fitted with desirable additions including:
Termignoni exhaust system
