Ducati SBK 1098R Troy Bayliss
Ducati has released a limited edition 1098 superbike, the Bayliss 1098R to commemorate Troy Bayliss’s victory in the 2008 World Superbike Championship on board the 1098 R.
The 1098 R Bayliss Limited Edition has a special colour scheme designed by Aldo Drudi. The paint scheme is identical to what was used during Troy’s final race at Portimao in Portugal 2008. Troy Bayliss has retired from WSBK after winning on three generations of Ducati Superbikes.
The paint scheme incorporates Australian flag and number ’21′ which was Bayliss’s number.
Bayliss Limited Edition 1098 R will be limited to a production run of 500 units and comes with a numbered plaque on the top fork clamp. The number also corresponds to a numbered commemorative desktop plaque bearing the engraved signatures of Ducati Motor Holding CEO Gabriele Del Torchio and Ducati Corse triple World Superbike Champion, Troy Bayliss.
In addition, the Bayliss 1098R will be supplied with a full racing exhaust system including 102dB carbon fibre exhausts by Termignoni, a dedicated ECU, branded bike cover and rear paddock stand.

“I finally fitted the beautiful Akrapovic Evolution Titanium full race system on my Kawasaki ZX-6R 2005. I can tell you , I spent a sweaty Saturday fitting a Power Commander and then the Akra system. It all went easily enough, the time consuming bit of fitting a Power Commander is getting the connectors off the injectors. The effect One hundred and eighteen horsepower, measured at the rear tyre on Carbonteks Fuchs dyno, a gain of 6.2bhp over stock. Six horse power doesnt sound like much for your 1200. But theres a weight saving the Akra weighs just 4.6kg in total versus 10.3kg for stock. It goes without saying that theres a beautiful yowl from the Akrapovic. As far as i’m concerned, it’s Akra or nothing.
